Razors Edge Book of Sharpening: John Juranitch

[addyb]

How many of you out there own or have read this book? I'm thinking about buying one used from http://www.abebooks.com and getting it shipped out here from the US. Fifteen dollars Canadian seems like a heckuva deal to me. But before I give it the go-ahead, can I get some opinions on it?

Thanks,

Adam

Postage from US usually isn't more than from inside Canada - and under $20 won't require duty (and $5 PO fee for collecting 79 cents..).
Most libraries have it though - or can get it through interlibrary loan - the best way of checking out reference books.
I like the pic of the guy getting shaved by daughter with double bladed axe - but otherwise not too much new in book.

I bought this a few years ago.

A good read, and I still turn to it now and again when I'm sharpening something unusual.

I'm still mulling it over but thanks for the input, guys.

Cheers,
