Southern African Woods

[Mr. Peet]

I just got a shipment of books called "Southern African Woods". These hard covered books are 8.5 inches by 11.25 inches by 0.9 inches think. The first 69 pages are similar to Eric Meier's book 'Wood', with wood ID information along with some logging adventures. The next 159 pages cover 140 wood producing species from southern Africa. Each book is autographed by the 3 authors.

I have 3 leather-bound Collector's edition copies remaining, the last three of a limited number (I believe 50). I have 17 discounted books, for wrinkled corners on the covers during shipping and 20 standard. If you are interested, I will follow-up with a cost breakdown as well as the percentage to directly benefit the WoodBarter site.

Thanks, M.R. Peet...
