I am looking for an article that was in a fairly recent issue (read that as- within the last couple of years) that was about several prominent woodworkers most prized book in their libraries. The only reference I could find was to an article in issue 121 (if memory serves). It is possible that the article was reprinted. I thought I remembered reading it in the anniversary issue but could not find it there.
Can anyone help me find this article?

That's it!
Thanks a bunch.
I'm trying to get my Xmas list together.
Good. Glad to help. That article actually motivated me to read a book that Mike Dunbar recommended that was written by David Pye. Pye's influence in Dunbar's own approach to workmanship is evident.
Have fun with your Christmas list.
