Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Woodworking Handtools, Devices & Instruments is the first volume in Graham Blackburn's paperback Illustrated Workshop series. It's a comprehensive pictorial index of the woodworking handtools common in the Western civilization from eighteenth century to the present.
