Sinclair Restoration Handbook
#1I recently acquired a copy of Michael Sinclair's Bamboo Rod Restoration Handbook as part of an estate sale. The copy is spiral bound in black plastic unlike the wire bound copy that I have owned for years. I suspect this may be an unethical/illegal copy of an Original. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Do not want to destroy it but uncomfortable selling it on the open market. Thanks in advance, Ron Barch/aldercreekangling.com

#2Mine has thin black wire doubled. The yellow cover seems like it is plastic coated. That would be problematic to make. I got mine directly from Sinclair

#3Ron,
Mine is the same as crowbeetle's. Can you check with Sinclair?

#6Is it possible that a later edition was spiral bound in plastic versus metal??? I know there were at least two editions?? Just a thought?

Re: Sinclair Restoration Handbook
#10is the cover plastic-coated paper? If it is that would be a lot of trouble to go through to make a copy. Post photos perhaps? is there a date on it - that may pin down the wire vs plastic
