Who can spot it? *LINK*

P.S. there's more than one thing wrong with it!

>I just checked amazon and its different there. I wonder how that got messed up? Pretty funny and funny you would notice that.

BTW, I still think the stone anvil is what's wrong with that other picture.

>If you search the Hand Tool Archives, you'll find that this problem was identified when the book was first announced. Taunton quickly fixed it, and evidently the rest of their retailers also quickly updated their images. I wonder why the Japan Woodworker didn't think it was important enough to do the same.

I haven't read this book, but I wonder what it could possibly cover that wasn't explained in Leonard Lee's classic work on the subject? I also wonder if Tom left out anything important?

I'm not trying to start another L-N vs. LV war here; I'm just curious about similarities and differences.

Read the fine print!

Pattern recognition

>I think this just stood out for me because I have very keen pattern recognition -- as in, I can walk across a lawn and look down and find four-leaf clovers. When something doesn't fit the usual pattern, it stands out for me almost as if it is glowing around the edges.

No doubt this is a compensation for some weaknesses that I have in other senses!

Anyhow, I saw this in the Japan Woodworker catalogue. I double checked my own copy of the book, then looked at the Japan Woodworker website.

>William,

I have both books, both are good and add to the same subject. Why shouldn't Tom write a book on the same suject as Leonard? I can't actually follow your question. Sounds like if Bailey had already invented and sold planes why should Stanley, Millers Falls or Ohio Tools do that too? Maybe you can explain?

To the second question look at the link and browse through the contents.

Regards, Marc

>I would agree totally that there was no reason for anyone besides Stanley to make planes, and the only reason other companies got into the business was to make money. They even copied the Bailey style plane :)

>Moses,

There is another reason. All human strives to improve his world, to make a better life, a better quality tool or a better book, whatever. I think it is a humble task. And yes, money is an argument too.
