    Heres another link to 9,45gb of woodworking books. about 4 of the books are japanese woodworking books, the rest is random woodworking books( stairs, roofing, carving, and so on). Woodworking Books - A whole lot of them (download torrent) - TPB

    heres also a link to the art of woodworking( no japanese books but the best collection of woodworking books you will find!) THE ART OF WOODWORKING (download torrent) - TPB

    all files are pdf format and you will need bittorent to download. link to program needed to download: http://www.bittorrent.com/

    the program is free, and all torrents are virus free. enjoy
