Charles just informed me a couple days ago that they got their PDF version available (so that's the answer for Nathan, too).<br /><br />The covers are high-gloss so they would survive spills easily. The binding is ring-bound, which is great for the shop since it sits flat even when "folded back" to only take the room of one page. The printed pages are also more of a glossy finish that would tolerate spills.<br /><br />There aren't many recipes in this book so you may not need to keep it on the bench with finishes, stains, and dyes everywhere. But there was a lot of interesting information I hadn't heard before that I'm applying to some experiments for Angle Madness's finish.<br /><br />He does have a pre-order going on now for a followup. Looks like the same binding and printing style, but it is all color recipes. That should be fantastic. Not sure the timing of that book, but if you plan on ordering the printed book, you might prefer to wait until they can both be shipped to you.<br /><br />Here's the link to his new recipes book: https://charlesneilwoodworking.3dcartstores.com/Charles-Neils-Custom-Colorsthe-Recipes_p_257.html<br /><br />As it says "laminated cover and spiral (actually ring) binding allows you to put it to use in your workshop not your bookcase!"<br /><br />I have mine on order :)HalfInchShyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633026047989713624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703009255391882847.post-44401098899308054952014-01-23T06:46:19.721-07:002014-01-23T06:46:19.721-07:00There is a PDF downloadable version of the book cu...There is a PDF downloadable version of the book currently available, but I'd like to know what sort of paper the book version is printed on? <br /><br />Since its meant as an encyclopedia stored in the workshop is the material resilient enough to withstand wear and tear, liquids involved in finishing, etc.? i.e. is the paper plastic coated or similar?Reiskanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703009255391882847.post-29427038705666186992013-12-17T23:22:34.150-07:002013-12-17T23:22:34.150-07:00I dunno, Nathan... likely have to ask him.
