Description

The Wooden Plane Its History Form and Function, Whelan HB Book
This listing is for a hard-cover book, The Wooden Plane, Its History, Form, and Function, by John M. Whelan, published by The Astragal Press, copyright 1993. The book is previously owned. I have seen no tears, stains, or writing. There are 503 pages with information that describes, illustrates, and classifies all the various types of wooden planes from the common to the rare and unusual. Included are American and English planes, as well as French, Dutch, German, Japanese, and Chinese. This book would make an excellent addition to your collection.
Items paid by Paypal can only be mailed to the address shown on the Paypal payment.
I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience, but this is a Paypal rule, not me trying to be difficult.  If you wish to have the package sent to a different address, please contact me BEFORE paying and I will try to assist you.
I combine shipping whenever possible.  "Like items" ship well together.  Books and breakables do not.  Only items that meet the stringent regulations of the Post Office can travel by Media Mail.  If you wish to have items combined into one package, then ONE Paypal payment must be made.  Multiple Paypal payments means multiple packages--again, it's a Paypal rule, not me being difficult.
We are not set up for pick-up.  We've tried it in the past and had too many "no shows".  Our schedules can be erratic, so please allow us to mail your package.
This is a non-smoking home; however, most of my items are antique or vintage and have been purchased at estate sales and auctions.
I'm sorry, but
I am not aware of how the item has been stored or used before I received it.
I frequently get asked about odors.  I have a fairly "sensitive" nose
-- if an item has a
disagreeable
fragrance, that information will be included in the description.
Packages mailed to Illinois addresses must be charged Illinois sales tax.
I try very hard to please all of my buyers.  Please understand that delivery times and the cost of shipping are beyond my control.  These are controlled entirely by the Post Office, UPS, and FedEx.  Your rating will be for me, not one of these agencies. If you do not feel that you can give all 4's or 5's on the DSR's, please contact me with your concerns BEFORE leaving feedback.  Low ratings affect my income -- it only takes 3 1's or 2's in any category within a 3 month period (regardless of the volume of sales) to lower my standing.  Please do not cost me money because of frustration with the continuously increasing rates from the PO.  Most of my items are not listed with shipping included (unfortunately, there's no such thing as "free" shipping).  Please do not rank my stars low because I charge for shipping and some sellers do not. I do not make a profit on the shipping.
