Loon Pattern Book

[highlakejohn]

Does anyone know where I could get a copy of J. Whiting's book "The Common Loon Pattern Book" ? I think it's out of print. Does anyone have a copy for sale?

It is listed in the 2010-11 Hummul Flier so that would be a good place to check- their phone number is 800-762-0235. Hope that helps :<)

Terry, I got the book and at first didn't know what to think. It's 13" by 19" in size and only 17 pages in length and contains several patterns.The center has a beautiful full size loon drawing ( top and side view) with all feathers and markings. That's was what I was really looking for. The last couple of pages has 30 step by step photos of the author carving a loon. The last page has painting tips and instructions and the inside cover has a painted head and neck and paint schedule. It's different from any of my other books, but to me it's worth the $29.74 shipped price. Tremendous amount of reference and some color photos. I don't think its a book for everyone, but I'm glad I bought it. It really is just what I need. Again....thanks for your help.
