Shopsmith Forums

Backhertz, if this is the web page that made you think the book was being released in November, then this whole thread has been much ado about nothing. My editor at F&W sent me an e-mail that explained the page thus:

"It’s a bug in the retail world. Because we had progressed so far with the book, we’d included it in our catalog and sent out information to different retailers. I’m contacting the correct folks to get this taken down. Sorry for the confusion."

I have checked the web sites at New Track Media and Fox Chapel, and there are no announcements that they are re-releasing Woodworking Wisdom, although given their penchant for stealth that means little. However, a global search of the web produces nothing new. I have to conclude that in answer to your original question, your only source will be the used book market and remainder sales for the foreseeable future.

With all good wishes,

I bought some books today!

I'll be getting some soon as well -- just got to wait for the $$.. Uncle Sam took a huge bite this year and it's hurting pretty good.. Got too many bills to pay!

Somewhere in this thread someone asked me where I got the books from. I use a variety of sources which include half.com and alibris.com as my primary used book sources. It is amazing how one can pick up newbooks which are often listed as used. Just put in the author's name & bang!

This issue with regard to the new revision of Nick's book just goes to show you that simply seeing something on a web site doesn't make it true and goes to prove that one should always go to the horse's mouth....

Now I've purchased 20 of Nick's books. I'm wondering if I should list them along with my Shopsmith treasures...

This has been a great thread! Thanks, Dusty, for the advice. I placed an order for my books and they are already on the way.
