Next week we should take possession of 500 copies of “Workbenches: From Design & Theory to Construction & Use, Revised Edition.” I’m going to sign all 500 copies on the title page and then take them to our warehouse to be shipped to customers.
I will announce here on the blog when we get the books and when they hit the mail trucks.
Of those 500 books, only about 50 are unspoken for. So if you want one, with free domestic shipping, visit the Lost Art Press store. This book is not something we will stock on a regular basis. When Amazon gets it, everyone else in the market is done for.
Similarly, we have only about 100 letterpress “With Hammer in Hand” posters available. They are $25 with free domestic shipping. Once these are gone, they are gone. They are gorgeous. But don’t take my word for it, read it from Jameel Abraham at Benchcrafted.

I ordered my copy. I’ve got a copy of the first edition that I had the author autograph – but that doesn’t make me a fan. I just… like workbench books. That’s all.
I am jumping up and down with excitement
I think you you mentioned before that neither are available for us poor international folk?
The posters are for sale through Classic Hand Tools in the UK. The Workbench book will be available through F+W and Amazon in April.
Shipping internationally is just not an option for our two-person company. We have tried and tried.
You guys rock. I’ll pick it up where I can or get the relatives in the US to do me a favour 🙂
Since you can’t ship, could you perhaps bring a poster to me at FORP?
And speaking of said poster, I’ve already started the same nail cabinet frame everyone seems to be holding theirs in.
And now it’s sold out 🙁 Darn it.
Got my poster today. Its wicked awesome. Just one problem with it really, my shop cabinet has two doors! Now I need one with a grace screwdriver and screw sizes and such.
