Righto folks, third time lucky posting this!:mad:
I have done a bit of collating of the book titles, as posted by you good people. It has meant some editing (mainly to save space, so please don't take it personally) and decided to drop the commentary, even though I think comments are valid...after all, taste in books is a fairly subjective thing. I will reinstate it if people think it adds value to the list. And have no doubt, I also added my recommendations!
I have divided the list into headings. Please feel welcome to make additions to this list, which is by no means definitive, especially as there are areas on this Forum which I've left out (mainly because people didn't post pertinent publications) I really don't know how this should be done, probably can't edit the document "live", so maybe post suggestions and they will be collated at a later stage.
I will now try to attach this as a seperate document, as pasting it proved too large. (Apologies for wasting your time if it fails to appear below!)
Hope you enjoyAndy Mac

Andy
There needs to be separate sections to make reference easier. For example, separate power- and non-power handtools.
The list of books I posted do not appear to have been given much (any) relevance yet they are essential for non-power handtool use/interest.

Hi Derek.
Apologies for not including your books yet, it was an oversight. We'll include a Darkside category
Sorry Lignum, what category should they be in?
Cheers,Andy Mac

Latest version, with a seperate heading for Handtools, and I have started to reinstate Forum member's comments/reviews with each book. Hopefully this will add some meat, and help in the selection of books before buying!
Cheers,Andy Mac

list of books
Andy, a few more to add to your list of titles that I have found very helpful.
Making workbenches, Sam Allen
Success with Joints, Ralph Laughton
Classic Joints with Power tools, Yeung Chan
Mastering Woodworking Machines, Mark Duginske
Band Saw Handbook, Mark Duginske
Sharpening with Waterstones, Ian Kirby
The Art of Inlay , Larry Robinson
Build ing Cabinet Doors and Drawers, Danny Proulx
Marquetry and Inlay Handbook, Zachary Taylor
Router Joinery Workshop, Carol Reed
Complete Illustrated Guide to box Making , Doug Stowe (Taunton)
Box Making Basics, Freedman
Wood in Australia 2nd edition, Keith Bootle
The last title has to be the best book on timber and its uses ever printed, expensive (80 odd dollars) but a wealth of information on Australian timbers their properties and uses.
Congrats Andy on putting the list together, going to keep me poor getting some of the titles.ssgt

Thanks ssgt, I will add them to the document soon.
I love a good woodwork book, something to keep the interest up when you can't get to the shed! Its not often you find the good ones secondhand, or woodwork mags either. As a fraternity we must be hoarders!
Cheers,Andy Mac

"Hand Tools-Their ways and workings"

A very good explanation of how tools work, richly illustrated. One of my favourites.

List of books
My son picked me up a great book at a secondhand book store at Victor Harbour for [get this] $5 a couple of weeks ago
It's title is 'Woodturning a Manual of Techniques' by Hugh O'Neil
The ISBN number is 1-85223-483-1
It is probably available from the Local or State libraries. As a 'Newbie this was a great find. I do know that these type of books are pretty scarce in used book shops as a rule.
