    Default Chris Schwarz books

    Hey,

    Does anyone know where I can buy the following books in Sydney, or has anyone seen them at any libraries?

    -Workbenches: From Design & Theory to Construction & Use
    -The Workbench Design Book - The Art & Philosophy of Building Better Benches

    I know I can buy them from the Lie Nielsen website but i'd prefer to have a look at the book first.

    Alternatively if anyone has these books and are willing to sell them, i'd be more than happy to buy them off you- send me a PM


    Andy

    Try Book Depository - based in the UK, but free worldwide postage, and if you type MAY11 you might get an extra 10% off... but don't tell them I told you.

    Sorry, Gremlins tonight. First part of my message said:

    I don't know where you can look at them, but when you come to buy, there's a really good website I've used quite a bit recently.
    Cheers, Richard

    Bookmarked ( Bookmarked.com.au Pty Ltd ) have the basic edition of Workbenches (the blue cover) WITHOUT the CD/DVD of extra material. It is well worth getting the 'deluxe' version as it has an extra bench as a .pdf on the CD.

    You can get both books direct from the Pop. Wood. bookshop : Woodworking Books, Woodworking Plans, Woodworking Projects - ShopWoodworking.com
    or from Lee Valley, who also have the deluxe edition.
