[Regia-NA] European Bow-making book

[rmhowe]

A book on making bows from Germany, from the Stone age to today:

Flemming, Alrune, Wulf Hein, Jürgen Junkmanns, Boris Pantel, Holger
Riesch, 
Achim Stegmeyer, Angelika Hörnig (Herausgeber): _Das Bogenbauer-Buch_.
The Bow-maker's Book. European bowmaking from the stone age til now. 
Europäischer Bogenbau von der Steinzeit bis heute. Unser Vorschlag, 
24 Chapters, Many pictures, 223 pages, Hörnig, 2001, ISBN: 3980587770 
Sold previously for: EUR 49,60 / My cost was EUR 29,80 plus 10 for
postage. 
Or $40. Presently a Euro is about a dollar.

As I recall it includes stone age-merowingian-medieval bows' details and
the 
techniques of using birch glue for holding things - a stone age recipe.
Entirely in German from their only bow and arrow magazine.
Pretty good actually.
