Last Catalog?
What a loss!
He’ll be missed. He had a great catalog of unique items. Back along I sold some books through him. Good guy.
So He’s just going to let it shut down?
“Back along I sold some books through him.”
What subjects?
That really stinks. They had some good stuff. I actually built a Gingery Charcoal Foundry.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel that I’m losing an old friend. I always looked forward to getting Lindsay’s catalog. It was almost like getting a letter from a crazy old uncle that everyone forgot about. Mr. Lindsay, if you’re reading this, rest assured you made a difference and you kept us curious. Before I discovered Lindsay Books, I thought I was the only one left. You showed that there are others out there. Thank you!
WHAT?!! NO!. I have half of his catalog on my bookshelf. Time to buy what I can while it’s still there. I built a foundry on my patio with the info from his books, along with all sorts or projects an wonderful, useful things.
