5.0 out of 5 stars the best book on the subject I have found so far, 19 April 2001
By A Customer
This is the first book I have found so far on the subject that really told me everything I needed to know. It sets out all information in a easy to understand form and answers every question you might have on " how do I do it" and if that were not enough there`s loads of sticks shown and a step by step guide on how to make them. After reading and your ready to start out theres a list of good suppliers in the book who are only more than willing to help,are reliable and offer mail order services.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great! Fascinating read for begginers in the art..., 5 Mar 2001
By A Customer
I would recomend this to anyone starting out in stick making, or if you are wishing to improve... It is not a technical database for the pros but touches on all the main techniques and materials and ofcourse a good few sticks for you to try.

Good guide whilst keeping the English simple and the techniques straight forward. Not bedtime reading stuff but good for the subject in question.

I would just say to international buyers, the species of tree, suppliers etc center around the UK, but this should count for most of Europe.
