Too small, too dear, little real instruction. - By: J. A. Stiles, 23 Feb 2008 
Disappointed is the word that springs to mind. Poor quality printing, even the dust jacket looks like a poor colour photocopy. Indistinct & badly exposed images. I could forgive all of this but the content is slim & on a very narrow focus. No help with mounting horn handles, V sticks, alpen points, finishing etc etc. If you only want to make a wrist length walking stick with a wooden handle then this may do you, otherwise look further.
This book is nicely written......... - By: , 11 Sep 2000 
The subject is fairly esoteric & at first glance may appear of interest to a comparatively narrow section of the population. However, that is not to say it will not be of interest to many who like to know what is going on inthe world. The narrative is nicely put together with many (black & white) photographs which clearly illustrate the ideas the author is getting across. Starting with a history of the subject the book deals with variations on the theme & describes alternative methods employed by craftsman, to produce the same article. The author's love of the subject is quickly apparent & his enthusiasm comes across. The book was so interesting & such a joy to read that I could not put it down until I had read it cover to cover!
