[TheForge] who was paul nooncree hasluck?

[Steve Smith]

I've got two of his books, and I'm not very impressed. In the 
woodworking book, he demonstrates that he has quite an extreme lack of 
taste--really horrid concotions. The books give the impression that he 
didn't really do all of this work himself, but was cataloging information.

There are other excellent sources; are you after anything in particular?
