new papyrus ...
« on: October 29, 2010, 03:48:12 AM »







hi all
my friend "Ludo" from the manjha club just gave me this book
by Bonnie Klein
it's basic woodturning with a section on spintops and one on yoyo
less "pedagogic" than michael cullen's book
but good photos
published in 2005 by fox chapell publishing co

he also lent me "The Bible" : D W Gould 's The Top
i read it half through the night ... a must-have for any spintop amateur


jim

ps jorge if you need better photos (scan) of the book cover for the site
just tell me

I agree, Gould's book is a must read. It is not too difficult to find in the online used bookstores.

Bonnie Klien is well known for her chatter faced finger tops and their bright bold colors.  She's very good. She always has something to teach.

Gould's book was easier to come by than I thought it would be.  Started looking, was patient and it showed up at a used bookstore somewhere. It's not expensive and a good addition to anyones top library.
