I failed to mention something. I sort of implied it, but I don’t think I was clear enough.

This book is 500 pages.

You could take any five chapters of this and comprise a ‘book’, by most standards.

That looks very comprehensive. Which isn't surprising given the author. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, if it wasn’t clear, the book is quite large. There‘s also a lot of pictures.

Pictures? Yay, now we're talking.

Pictures are great. I appreciate your work to bring this subject down to layman's terms that I can understand.

My pics comment was more a observation regarding myself and self-deprecating humor. Not a comment re the book. The book interests me.

Before I’m criticized for being a shill for a friend, I would ask those of you willing to level such a criticism against me to ASK my friends just how gentle I am with them.

If anyone in this community deserves to be shilled for its Larrin....we all owe him a great deal like it or not for the work he has done. I bought Knife Engineering and will certainly be purchasing this when its out.

You‘ve got until 8:15, then we’re going to have to dock your pay.

Wait, you guys are getting paid?

 

[Matthew Gregory]

I’m hoping people will report back with their thoughts here after they’ve received a copy and perused it.

 

[Wandering_About]

My copy hasn't even shipped yet... guess I should have coughed up the dough for a bit less slow of an option.

Nice work there and Matt, I know you are fastidious so you were probably poring over that proofreading until it drove you mad(der?)

I think most would agree that the ‘er’ is a safe addition.

Whenever I wrote papers for school I would read through it multiple times and make corrections before printing it out. Then while turning it in I would look at the first paragraph and immediately find a typo. Now magnify that by a 500 page book and these are the things nightmares are made of. There must be a couple typos in there somewhere.

My copy arrives tomorrow, very excited!

It can drive you mad. Having functioned as a copy editor among other responsibilities, I came to hate my Chicago Manual of Style. LOL.

good work Larrin - looking forward to this...
I've read your first book probably at least thrice by now (but I tend to skip around sections - after the first time...
