would love a copy!
I would love a copy!
I would gladly take a copy off your hands, ya know, I would hate to unduly stress your homemade bookshelves, best allow me to rest it comfortably in my shop on the bench.
Yes please!
an opportunity to learn more and take my simple talents to higher level, count me in. Didn't use the word ostensibly this time.
Looks like a real cool book.
Count me in.
Can you guys mail it to Brasil ?
I would love a copy of that book.
Boy, that could be a very good thing for me! Thanks for the opportunity to win it!
The Center in Maine is a great facility to study our craft. I'd love to have this book.
Looks like a great book, count me in..
If you are kind enough to send me a copy of the book, I will forgive FWW editors from not putting any of my work in the 'Readers Corner' feature. One day, I will get in! In the meantime, the book might inspire me to improve my abilities to the point some of my work might actually deserve to be featured. Thank you.
In for this one
I will take this chance to win that book! TIA.
Would love a copy. Boxes have been source of much pleasure, even though my work is amaturish and mostly rather crude.
I need more inspiration!
One of these days I will win something!
I can always use more inspiration toward my goal of becoming a master woodworker
I'm just getting into box making so this would be awesome, thanks
been making boxes for a while, but can always use new ideas
Thanks

I am in the process making a box using a piece of slate from something my wife was going to toss. I need all the help I can, just getting into woodworking and this book would be a great addition to my growing library which at the moment does not have any books on boxes.
I'll take my chance, thanks!
Please enter me.
New Masters of the Wooden Box looks like a great book. A number of the boxes inside look very interesting.
would love to win, if I don't i'll have to buy it.
I would like to win this as I am interested in box building to use up some of the left over project material.
I love making boxes and could use additional inspiration and ideas to further my skills. This book appears to be an incredible resource.
Yes, I'll enter the drawing.Looks like another good book.
Yes, I would like to enter. Creative ideas are always a welcome addition to my shop.
I'd love to have it. Sign me up.
Such a cool subject!!! Please, sign me in, I'd love to put my hands and tools on that!!!
Excellent!! Nothing like a book of the masters to get the winter box designing juices flowing. I met Jay and Janet O'Rourke, who are featured in this book, at a local art fair. They had a copy of the newly released book with them. It was very inspirational meeting two artists who have able to lead a life doing what they love...and it just happens to be what I(or we) love also. Please enter me for a chance to become moved by the masters!
I could really use a copy of this book!
If you've seen any of the boxes I've attempted, you will fully understand why I need a book like this. :-)
Thanks,
Michael
Count me in, please.
The book looks cool and I would enjoy putting the ideas to work on my own projects.

Please include me in the contest, I could spend a whole winter in the shop with just one book, and use up a lot of left over pieces. What a learning experience it would be.
I am always amazed that something as simple as a box can take so many beautiful forms.
It looks like it also includes some info on boxes through the ages. very nice! Can't wait to read it.
This might help me to think inside the box.
I'd love copy as well.
this book would help m eimprove my skills
So much to learn from a "simple" box!
zoom batta boom boom
I had never heard of a book about boxes. This is really cool and I would love to win.
Looks like a great book!
I just added this to my Christmas wishlist. =)
Interesting book - my workshop has been unused for 3 years - a sewer breakage, followed by an injury, followed by a year of house renovations - stopped me doing any cabinetmaking work. I just got my workshop reorganized and I need small projects to persuade me to start up again.
Finally a book that won't leave me feeling "boxed" in!
looks like a must read
My husband is the craftsman, he would enjoy thumbing through this.
I thought I had every book on boxes...but not this one...yet!
An inspiring cover. Is it the same for the contents?
I have Doug Stowe's excellent book and video. I would love to have this box making book too.
Good Luck to me.
It looks like a great book.
count me in
I would LOVE this book! Inspiration overload!
Wow. I have one of Doug Stowe's books on basic box making. This appears to be quite non-traditional - outside of the box - treatment.
I love the personality given to the box lid. Makes Art vs. Craft.
well as they say you can't judge a book by it's cover but i'm willing to take a chance ;D
i'd so love to win this
Hey there,
I'd love the chance to win this book

I guess this book is full of inspiration.
A must have book and probably few must have boxes! (at least the one on the cover page)
Best,
Serge
This is very popular and i love it.
High time I took up boxing. A punchy surprise awaits the curious; from a quiet exterior to a wow finale.
Maybe this time my luck will change! Haha. Looks like a cool book.
I would love to win this book. I love woodworking!
My son would love this, thank you for this great giveaway!
This looks like a fantastic book. Would love to have it
Looks great! Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for this nice book! I would love to have one!
