Ken, why have you been tempted 3 times and still chosen not to keep it?

For those into medieval timber frames a book with the descriptive title "Regional Variation in Timber-Framed Building in England and Wales Down to 1550" is well worth buying. It has some great illustrations similar to those in "Discovering Timber Framed Buildings". The first edition came out in 1998 so it's not new. However I've never seen it mentioned in must-have timber frame book lists, so I thought I'd mention it.

Hi Ken; You must be familiar with The Village Carpenter by Walter Rose. This is essential reading. In looking around on the web for the above mentioned book, I came across this list of classic books: http://www.heavytimberwork.com/links.htmlJim
The closer you look the more you see. "Heavy timber framing is not a lost art" Fred Hodgson, 1909

That looks like a list I need to keep track of. I got The Village Carpenter for Christmas. A very good read.

Hi Jim and Dave,
I reviewed the heavytimberwork list and already own 14 out of 18 of the European content books, 7 out of 10 of the North American and 3 out of 6 of the other.
I am impressed by the capability and achievements of the heavytimberwork.com carpenters in Canada however this does not appear to extend to spelling where Hermann Phleps is entered in the book reference list as Phelps (common mistake).
