Was at the flea market yesterday and someone was selling brand new books. I've seen him before but he had mostly cookbooks so I never paid attention. Yesterday I noticed a very thick book and checked the author. John A. Nelson and Joyce C. Nelson. That got my attention.
It is the "big book of weekend woodworking, 150 easy projects". This is 150 pages hardcover version. Got it for $5

Once in a while you find the needle in the hay stack. I pick up good planes and tools for under $10 all the time at the swap meets. Way to go. Hop you find something you enjoy making in the book.

I was in a used book store in a small town in Idaho a few months ago. They had 2 full shelves of wooden kids toys, nearly all hard covers. So another place worth looking in.
