A bit lower down it says 4 April this year Rich

Oh yeah well spotted Dave, that must be the publication date then, I wonder how long it takes before they reach the shelves.

I'm tempted to pre-order them both but I'm gonna hang back in case it's just a repeat of his other stuff, hopefully not though.

Well.........probably just another attempt at money making, by the "Mears Marketeers", though I must admit, the idea of a coordinated series, does appeal to me.

however, if they are of the same, poor quality finish, as the likes of "wild food", "goes walkabout" and "vanishing world", I'll just hang on and pick them up in "The Works" ( where all the remainders and publishing failures end up:rolleyes:) for a couple of quid each, just like I did with all the aforementioned.

I'm amazed, at what is deemed acceptable for photo reproduction in these books.

What happened to crisp, glossy, plate type photo illustrations?

It's obviously down to cheap production methods being used, in order to maximise profits but I can't help feeling like they are selling us- the consumer, short.

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how far the series goes and what subjects they do to death;)

I wonder if they cover the same kind of ground as the Australian Traditional Bushcraft books, I have one of those and its excellent.

I've just emailed my niece to see if she can find one in the Aussie flea markets as the one I want is £102 on Amazon 2nd hand soft cover ($70 from The Rams Skull press for a new hardcover)
They look like a good read and each book covers different specialised areas

You can pre-order the books on Amazon now.

You can, but be aware of the comment/info posted by Tony in the other thread:

Umm, I wouldn't hold your breath on these, the publishing date has been shifted to 2015 for these books, it could be before then but my friend at the publishers said there's no set date for them now (there was previously) the next book he's got coming out is about Britain which is due in 2013.

There's a download of the one about leatherwork if its any use to you?

Note from Admin - I've removed the link to the download as it's copyright infringement and it had already been removed from the link, the books are still in print and can be found here http://ramsskullpress.com/products-page/bushcrafts/ Deb and Dave at the Rams Scull Press will be more than happy to help you.

The book I have is very practical indeed and not too much of the yoghurt weaver hippy stuff. Just gets down to business.

The good folk at Amazon have said that No.1 Carving will not be making an appearance. Does that mean that the plug has been pulled on the project or what? The whole thing seems rather veiled in mystery. If No.1 is not going to be 'available', does that mean No.2 Field Craft will go a similar way?

Lots of questions, I'm afraid, with no real answers. Is anyone out there better informed about what appeared to be a couple of potentially interesting titles from 'The Man'?
