Making Harness by Martin & Preston

[TomE]

Would like to buy a copy of "Making Harness.  A Step by Step Guide" (2005) by Lewis Martin and Daniel Preston.  Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Is it out of print now? Shoptalk magazine use to sell them, which is the guy who wrote the book.

Yes, I haven't found it.  I read that Weaver Leather had sold this book previously,  but they weren't able to locate a copy.

When we acquired the magazine, we were given rights to sell all the books he sold. I’m unsure if we were given permission to reprint Dan’s book though. I’d have to look into it.

 

That was a comment left as you can see so you might be able to get one eventually.

Thanks for your reply.  Would welcome a digital or printed copy.

I just heard, not to long ago, Preston passed away. Someone must have the right to print it the book, the book looks like it was printed at a local print shop, but is a great book for Market Style Harness. Not sure what it would cost to have it copied.

I would really like a copy as well.

I've had no luck finding a copy, including contacting the folks who bought Shop Talk magazine from Preston.  Truely a limited edition.
