This promising tome arrived yesterday. I've had a quick scan and have to say that it looks very informative.

I got his a week ago, having seen some of the collection at Birmingham Museum I had to get a copy.

Ah....interesting book, Bryan. I understand that Pinto wrote a few books about treen, but have never come across any of them. Is it a good read?

Les,
So far a very it's a interesting read, lots of spindle work and ideas.
More than that a good rescue. While looking for it I discovered that the American Library has declared it a 'Book of Historical Importance' and have reproduced it. However I was able to find an American selling a 1949 first edition copy at what I considered a very good price with a near pristine dust jacket, so I freed it from it's impose exile and brought it back home.
As an aside, the image on the front is of the a Scottish Tulloch Mazer. I've no idea what that means unless it's what we now call a Tazza.

received my signed copy this morning and am delighted with the content of the book and how well it is put together, i think eric has done a fantastic job and hope he gets asked to go for a re print as only 2000 have been run so far.
did you get yours through amazon les or did you request a copy when they were finished?

eric has already sold 1400 copies so if you want one get to amazon quick...
