    Acknowledgments in The Art of Kiltmaking

    Hi folks

    Quite a few XMarkers helped out by offering comments to improve the second printing, and I thought you might like to see the acknowledgments section of the new book. I included (I hope!) everyone who PM'd me their real names, and I hope I didn't miss anyone.

    I also put a couple of quotes on the back cover, and two of them are from XMarkers. And Turpin's Isle of Skye kilt is on the back cover as well.

    Cheers,

    Barb

    We sure do have some talented people in X-Marks. Thanks for recognizing them Barb, and congratulations to all who were memorialized in Barbs second edition.

    So just when do I get my copy? I ordered it like three days ago!

    Congratulations, Barb.
    I'm still working on my first kilt from the first edition, but I am tempted to buy the second edition, too.

    Check out your book on Amazon. A first edition is selling for over $100.00. Glad I ordered one.

    Nah, never were. Didn't figure it would be very useful if you couldn't open it and lay it flat. I hate trying to work from books that keep springing closed unless you break the binding. That's why I used a Wiro binding.
