General Scroll Saw Talk / Books

Went to the public library the other day for some pattern books on scroll sawing and all they had out of 100,000 plus books in the whole of wellington were 2 and I had to order them in so when I eventually got them they were years old and of not much use, I have since ordered 2 from Fishpond and they should be here soon
