Title: Stanley Tools Book Restoration
Post by: lptools on October 28, 2017, 06:03:44 PM
Hello, This book was re-stored by one of my very talented co-workers. This book was in rough shape from me using it quite often, and more often than not, my handling it with greasy, grimy hands. The book was cleaned, repaired, a new dust jacket made,and my co-worker even hand made the box!!!!! Books are made to be read, used, handled, but I will put this away for a while. In the meantime I will use my soft cover version. Regards, Lou

Looks like your friend really knew what he was doing. I've heard that there is a new version of this book either allready published or soon to be published ? Any body know about this ?

Hello, I filled out the form to purchase the latest edition, and never heard back. I tried contacting John Walter at the Tool Merchant, with no response. I asked Martin Donnelly about the book, and he had no progress reports. I guess e will all have to wait & see!!!!!!!!  Thanks, Lou
