hey roger, dont know if its a fluke or what but stewart elliot actually did right a book with the same title as mitchells book. thought you might like to know. also, i did track down a recent book by mitchell call "the craft of modular post and beam." it apparently expands upon the out of print book you mentioned in your previous post. just thought id fill you in on my search. ive ordered mitchells new book. copyright '97 i believe. bye, buck
