Fine knife, what is it? I don't know, I have read The Idiot though

Everyman's is a wonderful thing, if you had every book they printed you'd be well covered .

Thanks, Will

Thanks for the compliment Will!
The knife is by Otter. Fumed Oak covers.
I like the Everyman books. Nicely bound books with acid free paper and at good prices too.
Here's a photo of the knife open:

"Everyman, I will be thy guide, at thy most need to be by thy side."
I think it was Everyman that Richard Burton wanted one of each of, and his last wife built him a library of them.
This isn't one.

More than I like to pay for a book, but better than last time I checked.

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

Nice book and great knife!
Joyce Kilmer's Trees was the first poem that I memorized.

Thanks!
I think the first poem I memorized (besides nursery rhymes) also had a tree in it: Longfellow's The Arrow and the Song. Last stanza:
"Long, long afterward, in an oak,
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend."

WhittlinAway,

Thanks to you I now know this book. Excellent and of great practical interest to those who like me heat with wood. No matter how experienced one is in this area, there is always to learn.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! The book was recommended to me by another member and I'm about 2/3 of the way through it. It's a delightful read.

I thought I'd read most of the Jack Reacher novels, but I grabbed this one out of the local library while away on vacation, and I remembered NOTHING about the main mystery that takes up most of the book, even though the chapters about the death of Reacher's French mother in Paris seemed familiar. Getting old ...

Vince your photo reminded me of a "field guide" we always take with us on vacation:

I don't remember ever reading the Longfellow poem you discussed, but I'm sure Bullwinkle Moose recited at least the first stanza on the Rocky and Bullwinkle show when I was a lad!

Yes, the first two lines are very famous. I need to read more Longfellow.
