“American Peasant” is again in inventory with a brand new diestamp on the duvet. Once I designed the duvet for the e book, I developed six totally different photographs, all of which I appreciated.
So we determined to make use of a special diestamp for every printing. We bought out the primary printing final month, which featured an engraved spell I developed (it’s a want for bountiful wooden).
The second printing incorporates a element of a peasant cabinet I drew for the e book. This cabinet is engraved with the “fishing web” protecting spell, plus another agricultural spells.
The inside content material of the second printing is similar as the primary (aside from a couple of typo corrections). So there’s no want to purchase the brand new one you probably have the primary one. In case you want the outdated cowl, a few of our retailers nonetheless have some copies.
‘Good Eye’ Goes to Press
Late final week, we transmitted the ultimate press recordsdata for “Good Eye,” the brand new e book from Jim Tolpin and George Walker. It’s, naturally, about furnishings design. And it explores easy proportions in a brand new and deep manner.
Their final e book, “Euclid’s Door,” confirmed how artisan geometry may very well be used to create the important picket instruments for bench work. “Good Eye” takes a special tack. Jim and George take a number of stunning items of furnishings from totally different intervals after which present the proportional methods behind them. Plus, “Good Eye” exhibits you the right way to reverse the method and use the identical proportioning system to create new items.
In case you have been following the work of George and Jim, this new e book will develop your understanding of artisan geometry. If you’re new to design, “Good Eye” or any of their different books are nice entry factors to the subject.
We hope the e book will ship by the tip of the 12 months. I believe the retail worth will likely be $29. We don’t take pre-orders, however we quickly arrange a web page the place you possibly can signal as much as be notified as quickly as it’s launched. And, as all the time, we do not know which of our retailers will carry it. Learn this for extra info.
