The good news: “Good Work: The Chairmaking Life of John Brown” by Christopher Williams is printed. The press run arrived today at our Indiana warehouse.
The bad news: At midnight on March 11, you will no longer receive a free pdf of the book when you order a copy of the printed version. Before that deadline, you can get the printed book and the pdf for $49. On March 12, the printed book and the pdf will be $61.50.
I have yet to see the printed book, but it is scheduled to arrive at our Kentucky storefront sometime tomorrow. It should be a fun scene. I’m teaching a class this week on building an American Welsh stick chair, so we have some chairmakers who are eager to see the book. (I know I am.)
When will yours arrive? Soon, I hope. Our warehouse is generally speedy when filling pre-publication orders. You should receive an email about your copy in the coming week or so. As always, if you think something is amiss with your order, don’t leave a comment on the blog. Instead, send an email to help@lostartpress.com and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Just purchased. I am addicted to LAP and am quite content knowing that.
Thanks Chris and team!
My copy arrived this afternoon; besides being a beautiful book, it has an amazing smell. Like the library books I remember from childhood…. I’m sure it’s just chemicals released from the inks or adhesives… but it’s wonderful.
