Copy of Chainsaw Lumbermaking sold

[oldsaw]

on ebay for $26. I forgot to bid on it this morning. I paid twice that for my copy.

From what I've seen thru Amazon's used books section, even at ~$50 you still got a deal on your copy. $26 is an absolute steal - I've seen them running well over $100. I still don't understand why Taunton won't do a second run on them - the demand is probably a thousand-fold or more from when they were first printed 30-odd years ago, due in no small part to the Internet and forums like this.

Wish that was me that got it, what a steal.

And you can download a pdf.
As to the morality of it all, the publisher has set on the rights for decades, won't republish, won't sell the rights back to the author
who never made a dime out of his hard work.
So if you're feeling "moral" about the whole thing, find an address for Will, and send him a $20.

Just got a note from Will Malloff, he says:
"The second reprint of CSLM will be out in the spring of 2015
by Echo Point Books."

He also provides an address,
Will Malloff
P.O. Box 541
ALERT Bay, B.C. V0N 1A0

So if like me you feel bad that you have profited from his work, while he did not,
then you too could mail him off a $20.
