    Default Wanted: Willie Sundqvist, Swedish Carving Techniques.

    Evening all,

    As the title really. I'm really getting into my carving and want to have a read of Wille Sundqvists book: Swedish Carving Techniques, but the library can't get hold of a copy & its out of print!

    It seems the only option i have is to buy one!!

    I was tracking one on ebay, but the seller changed from an auction to but it now without notice, grrrr i hate that Two auctions recently both went for £95, which is extortionate i know, but what can i do?

    So, if you want to sell a copy (must be in English ), i have £100, or if any kind and trusting sole wants to lend me a copy, please get in touch.

    Thanks

    James

    I'd lend you my copy but the postage might be prohibitive and it would probably be lost by Royal Mail/Magyar Posta because of the xmas chaos.

    If you havn't had any success by mid January PM me, maybe I'll be heading back to the UK for a few days.

    I wouldn't want to risk it through international Christmas mail either

    It's good, but it's not the one!

    It's bad enough that its in a language that i can only partially understand, but all the good pages are missing

    Wow!

    Maybe it'll get you some exposure to find you one?

    It's a good book and well worth pursuing.
    Cheers,
    Stew.

    Nice to hear the local Library came up trumps :-)

    I usually look for rare books on Abebooks http://www.abebooks.co.uk/ and double check prices on Amazon.

    In fact a copy of Kepharts Camping & Woodcraft courtesy of Abebooks has just arrived from the USA today so thats me happy :-).

    However that book must be exceedingly rare as neither of the above have anything under £145!

    Cheers
