Janel Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Have you checked other old book dealers that are on line? Abe Books comes to mind first for some reason. Use a search engine for other rare and old book dealers perhaps. I wish you good luck. Janel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought with the international scope of the forum, here, someone may have seen one. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janel Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Have you tried to have a major library search through regional library resources? I think the state of Minnesota has a way for that through inter-library loans. I wonder how many of the books were pubished? Janel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sanders Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I've check on Worldcat and the only public library listed with a copy is the Flora Public Library in Flora, Illinois. Unfortunately it's in the reference section so it's unlikely you'll be able to interlibrary loan it. Looks like the pamphlet was self-published so I think your best bet is to try and find the guy who wrote it. From the catalog records, it looks like it may have been published in Indianapolis in 1993. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.J. Smith Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Just thought I'd post a follow-up... I was able to locate the authors family, and his son is reprinting his books. They should be completed by spring 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.J. Smith Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I about forgot, while trying to locate this book, I found out that he also authored Wann’a monkey around a little bit? : a brief introduction to a very old art/craft form, published in 1992. I also recently found an article on him in the American Woodworker magazine, October 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
