I'd love to see that book - I have always wanted to make a chair but don't know how - this book would be a great first step.
Teaching furniture building at Lund university keeps me always on the lookout for new influences. This could be one of them.
This looks like a great read! Drool.
Please send a book to me!
Wow! An $85 chair making book! Can't wait..
Sounds like a fantastic book to expand my woodworking skills.
Looks to be a beautiful book and worthy of any woodworker's library.
Very intrested to read this one.
Count me in! I'd love to have that book
Knowledge is priceless, and here is another opportunity to learn something new.
Looking forward to read it and share the knowledge!!
The most powerfull memory from my woodworking mentor, who was also my grandfather, was the simple ladder back easy chair on his front porch. The photo on the cover realy brings some good memories. It would be a joy to read and maybe build one just like that...
Making chairs has always been a daunting project.
Especially the testing phase!

Rockyh,
A very nice opportunity for us to win such a book. Hopefully the winner will be inspired after reading the book to make a Ladder back chair. Maybe even start a home business selling such a chair in their area. I will keep my fingers crossed so I should be so lucky to win.
Sounds awesome - I can't wait to see it!
Sounds great. Would love to have it.
These chairs have always been intimidating to me. If I win the book I'll try to build one.
My Great uncle Chester Cornett was a chairmaker and I've recently gotten very interested in the art and would love to have a copy of this book to help me along and possably give me the inspiration to continue in my uncles footsteps
That would be a welcome addition to my collection

I've been woodworking for years but never made a chair. This book would be very useful.
I'll have to sit and think about this.
This looks like some interesting reading. Will have to add to my book list.
Chairs? An expert writing on chairs - ‘Woh-who-ey! who-ey! who-ey! Woh-who-ey! who-ey!’ I have an addiction to chairs. I could feed four addictions with this book...Sign me up!
If you could see my first couple of attempts at chair building you would understand my need for a book like this. Sign me up fast, please!!
It has been more than six month since I made a Brian Boggs style shaving horse. The horse is BOGGING (begging) me to put it in good use. Please, help me to put this matter not the horse to rest.
Chairs ... chairs ... this is my next project. What best tool than my brain? My tool gets better with great ideas from this book.

I would love to learn this new technique. Want to build a set of chair for the family to sit on, on the front porch.
Please pick me
I would love to have this book!
Ladderback chairs are what I consider one of the more interesting designs to make, and with the knowledge gained from this book, I won't put building them off any longer. Now if I can only get my hands on some lumber, maybe some nice oak or some birdseye mable.... I really hope I'm picked to receive this book, hint, hint.
sign me up - nice looking book
Sign me up. Looks like a great book.
Free book are some of the best reads.
Always room in the bookshelf for good books!
I need some new chairs. Love to win this book.
Eric
Thanks for the opportunity.
I'll send a more detailed comment when I've built one or more of the chairs described.
Thank you for the chance to win, please sign me up
With so many comments posted I doubt, I will win it, but, there always a small chance I may make it, If so, I promise I will built the chair and post the comments on building it.
Do you think that even I could learn how to make a chair?
Love to have the book. I have been wanting to make one of these chairs for some time now.
I've taken classes from Russ at Palomar CC but moved before I got to one of his chair classes.
I knew that he was working on this book and have been looking forward to it's arrival. BZ to Russ on getting it out.

Hope I win. Thanks for the opportunity FWW
Hope I win.
Am currently in a chairmaking class. this would really help me in my chair design and construction.
I'd like to win :)
Still have not made chair. Have multiple books already and a lathe.
Just tossing my name into the hat.
What a deal. What a book.
always good to expand the knolage base (libarie).would like to know how to bottom a chair.
I make a set of 8 ladderback chairs for may sister many years ago. They are a blast to make and I would like to update my knowledge.
Although Russ has retired from Palomar College, he continues to offer chairbuilding courses. I'm preparing to take his course and his book would be a valuable addition to learning the material.
