Default how many carving books do you have ??
hi folks , we have a flea market at our local mall that just opened, knowing some of the folks there i was told about a guy that had carving books, well i just couldnt pass it by,, i got them for 2 dollars a piece, a bit of a gold mine lol, but i have a bunch all ready, so i started to count the books i have in carving, someday they will find a nice home in my new carving shop as a reference corner, but i counted i must have at least 50-60 books, and i take one along when i have to wait somewhere, 30 years ago we didnt have anything other than books to learn how to carve, no videos as they have today ,,, there is never enough carving books, lol soooo question how many do you have??

15-20 I think... A few DVDs also... and I just began wood carving last year...

I'm a book addict too, on every subject that interest me.

Does every issue of WCI magazine since the very first one count
If not quick count is 37 and I am sure there are more in the filing cabinets at the shop. When Old Joe died his wife gave me his library!

About 100 given to me when my Mentor passed on. Thinking about ebay. Most in mint condition and take in all types of carving. Some signed by authors.
