David R,
Thanks for posting this. I actually have four of the books in the Wood Worker Series (Evans Brothers Ltd. London) that I found back in the 90’s at a small book seller’s in England.
Woodwork Joints, Woodwork Tools, Practical Upholstery, and Carpentry for Beginners.
Great little books figuratively and literally (5″ x 7-1/2″). The Upholstery book says first edition 1923 revised 1926. So that gives some idea of the age of the series. Appears to have been some 25 separate books covering all manner of woodworking subjects. These were the ‘Do it yourself’ books of their day but interestingly you will find most of Paul’s approaches to woodworking within their covers.
