Gotta love the scratch and dent sales!

Just got an e-mail from Fox Chapel for their latest scratch and dent sale. I just ordered Jeff Phare's "Carving the Nose and Mouth" and Jim Maxwell's "Carving Clowns" for $6/each.

Don't delay, check your inbox now!

I got the email last Friday (15th) and ordered "The Art OF Ian Norbury" for $9.98 and "Inspirational Relief Carving" for $7.99 that day.

I was hoping they would be here by this weekend but nothing yet

@Mike, if you don't have the book on eyes allready I would grab that one too

I haven't recieved an e-mail re: the above, but would sure like to get one if the sale is still on.

Bandaid,

Go here http://www.foxchapelpublishing.com/client/email/wci/AACJ7.html

At some point in the order process they'll ask if you want to be notified of future deals by e-mail, say YES! That's the easiest way to get on their list. Also add their e-mail address to your address book to help keep those notices from being caught in a spam filter.

Thanks for the reply Mike...I use to get notices about sales, and have placed a couple of orders, but haven't rec'd any e-mails lately. I'll try to get on the mailing list again.

besides the book on carving the human face, the book on eyes helped me the most (IMHO), then nose & mouth. I have the book on ears and hair too but only looked at it once when it first arrived.

Reg,

I missed a couple of notices too but re-registering for their mailing list has apparently put me back on.

btw, to those who haven't ordered from their 'scratch and dent' sales. You'll usually be hard put to find any significant damage to the books.

Amen...
I also ordered the Ian Norbury book....been wanting that book for a couple of years now but couldn't justify the price tag. You can't beat the sale price. I am told it has shipped and I should get it any day...woooowhoooooo!

Susieq, my copy just came yesterday, your gona love it. I was surprised at the small scale Ian carves in with amazing detail. A book of work I will study for sure.
