You did not see this here.
John needed an advance copy of “l’Art du Menuisier: The Book of Plates” so our box supplier could measure it and make a custom carton – no one wants a $100 book with bumped corners.
The bindery sent this early bound copy – without the cover stamp, which is weird.
The book will start shipping next week. Order here before Wednesday to get free domestic shipping. After that date, shipping will be significant – this book is whopper-big, thick and heavy.

Sooooo Coool!
Since that copy is obviously flawed due to the lack of a cover stamp, I’ll take it off your hands for $50.00. Seriously. No really, seriously. I’ll even pay shipping. ….
Dude, that’s like the stamp with the upside down airplane.
$200.
I know. I know. I was hoping you were too busy editing, etc. to remember that fact. (I also keep hoping I’ll win the lottery. ) I’ll stick with the stock version and leave that one to the collectors; although, it would be really cool to have.
Imagine what he could get for it if he forged Roubo’s signature and sold it as an autographed version!
bang – xie xie!
$51.00…

Is this book going to be available from the usual bunch of suspects, or is it only going to be available direct from Lost Art like the Deluxe Roubo? I have no problem with paying for the shipping, and you guys do some of the best International shipping I have seen.
All of our retailers will be carrying it, including Henry Eckert in Australia.
If we’re lucky the ChiCom spy satellite will misunderstand the nature of the documents, and they’ll start producing for sale big wet grinding wheels.
You laugh but Harbor Freight sells English Wheels for making armor.
