Thanks PMarlin. Yeah, PTU7s was offering to send an illegal electronic copy of the book and edited his original post to cover the fact up when it was pointed out how stupid this was.
Melvyn's book is - and has been for many years - a huge commitment financially. It has helped many builders learn their skills for what - £13 or so? The book has proved it's worth many more times to me than the original investment of £13. It's a small price to pay, and the honest decision. If you can't afford £13, you can't afford to build guitars. If you CAN afford £13, buy the book and give Melvyn's due credit for what is really a great guide to starting building instruments.
Sorry to be a nag - this just inflames me hugely you know? It's not like it's £289 worth of Microsoft product which is essentially a DVD and a posh case. It's a worthwhile investment for all builders.
Man i didn't edit nothing, mods edited it!
I was only offering him a copy, i didn't know nothing about the copyright or where to get the original book. I live in ARgentina, and i can't buy it here.
