No interest in woodworking per se but I’m a sucker for “Free PDF” and any sort of technical books with that late-20th century paternal narrator tone to them.

You may want to look through their site. They have a number of free pdfs if I remember correctly.

If you have any interest in getting into woodworking with hand tools this is worth looking into. I own the first edition, the other Anarchist books in the series, and some other books of theirs. Cool little company putting out quality information in quality books.
