So it has been a week and no one has made an offer. I thought for sure we had some folks interested in learning, and a chance to get a $50 book cheap. Like most things in life, guess I was wrong again. Thanks to all that looked and thought about donating to WoodBarter, maybe next year...

How many pages

How many pages

336 pages. It is a very nice hardcover book, but being South African woods, likely just better for Australians and Europeans, places where they get a lot more African woods more commonly. Amazon has them for cheap, sadly at lower costs than publisher direct and cheaper than the author's cost in some cases. This killed me, as I purchased bulk directly from Briza at a "high discount" as they put it. After shipping, 30% of cost, each issue was $41 and some cents out of pocket for me. Think I have 25 or so regular books left and 1 or 2 leather bound collectors editions that cost around $140. I take the books to trade shows, sell one about every 3 shows, or about 3 books a year.... If you click the Red link in the original post above, it takes you to a review by the publisher and lists lots of details and shows several example pages. I think you would like it, whether you have the time to read it is the question, I assume... Have a great day.

Yes competing with Amazon at what they do best is problematic.... I will look at it.
