[TheForge] Re: Book re: drawing forged metal -apology

This mess is my fault and I apologize.  I should have either offered the 
book to RW in a private email or I should have made it clear that I meant to 
sell to anyone on theForge.  The result of this ambiguity has been to bring 
a note of contention to what is usually a very genteel group.  I regret my 
clumsiness.

It was however my intention to sell the book to the first offer.  This was 
Dan Scheid and the book is sold to him.  RW,  ( I don't know your name)  I 
can only say that I too would be PO'ed if I were treated this way.  It's the 
nasty end of the stick.  Again, I apologize.  I know it's only a few dollars 
but unfairness always rankles. 

I didn't care for the book.  This is partly due to a misleading title - the 
book is really about designing not drawing.  I thought I was buying a book 
about pencil work that would teach me to draw like Jerry Hoffman :).  
However, the book is not without merit and others might find it quite 
useful. 

I will thumb through the book once more and post a longer review at another 
time.
