Does anyone know how many volumes make a complete set of the "Workshop Companion" that were authored by Nick Engler? Yesterday I received what is supposed to be a complete set of 15 volumes.

The first two in the picture are the same I think.
Here is an old amazon link to the set. Seems the seller owes you a partial refund...

Thanks Guys. I did not pay for them. A friend gave them to me for transporting his lathe that he bought. All of the missing ones seem to be available on Amazon. Don't know if I will get the rest or not. I had 2 of Nick's books that he autographed for me when he ran the last owner's get together in Dayton. If he gets to central Florida I may ask him to sign the rest of them.

Check half priced books (if you have them near you). I often see these and PTWFE copies.

You could buy the missing ones in abe books, I buy there often.
They are less than 4 bucks, shipping included but they may not have all.
