Hi all,
Back in March we had a thread going where I asked for suggestions from you for woodworking books that you would want to see in a libraries circulation. Anyway, I finally got time to put it all together and since some of you asked for the “final” list so you could take it into your library, here it is.(If I can attach it) Enjoy.

Thank you
Maybe I missed it, but, The Handplane Book by Garrett Hack ought to be on the list, IMHO. It's probably my favorite woodworking book (or maybe tied with a few others).

You are right. I had it written down but I overlooked getting it on the list. I will add it right away.

Here is an updated list.
Thanks for posting this, somehow I missed it earlier.HO³Leon Jester, Roanoke VA
I just followed a new thread on books back to your postings and your list. Very good list/synopsis of titles. I agre with you because I have most of them :-)
The titles of your that I do not own are of subjects that I am not interested in not because of the books themselves.
Pleased I saw your old posting.

Thanks for the list. I am heading to the Library. As I was beginning to be a woodworker, the book "The Essential Woodworker, Skills, Tools and Methods" by Robert Wearing was very useful. I still use it from time to time. It is concerned with hand tool methods for the most part. He has several books and this one is his best I think.
I've read and then given away to others, many of the how to books on the list. However, the one I've enjoyed the most, and turn to whenever I need inspiration is Sam Maloof, Woodworker. I just plain like his story and philosophy.
