This is a must have book in your Western Fur Trade library. In the = past I=20 have auctioned off two of these books through these e-mail lists. Once = again I=20 am willing to auction off this book to the highest bidder, take out the = cost of=20 the book and shipping and donate all the left over proceeds to the land = fund. I=20 got a great deal on the book, so most of the money will go to the land.

The book is a First Edition hard back. It is an ex-library copy with = the=20 usual stampings. There is some minimal underlining in pencil in the first = part=20 of the book, I didn't notice any throughout the paintings section.

The binding is in excellent shape as is the cover. It does come with a= =20 slightly tattered dust jacket.

Here's your chance to get a great book and help with the land fund. I = will=20 set a very reasonable reserve price on the book. If bidding doesn't reach = the=20 reserve, I'll try again later and then just sell it at a rendezvous and = donate=20 the proceeds from there.

Let the bidding begin! Bidding closes next Thursday night at 8:= 00=20 p.m.

I'll keep everyone updated by posting to this list. If you wish to bid= in=20 private, e-mail me directly and I'll keep your identity off the list.

Thanks

Teton Todd

The splinter is a section of bamboo the length of the of your piece wit= h the notch in it 12 to 16 inches break this in the middle but leave some fi= ber in tact so it will hinge across the shredded bamboo so the heat can buil= d in the notch under the shredded material.

%% shredded bamboo = ; /\ notch on outside curve of bamboo ha= lf

fingers &nbs= p; break &nb= sp; finger= s

__ 0000________!______________0000___splinter held in= side of bamboo

U_____________%/\%___________________U = ; Bamboo half round down

thumb = bamboo &nbs= p; thumb

= ; &nb= sp;half on

= ; edge in notch

I hope this diagram helps and makes sense = &nbs= p; <= /DIV>

Remember your ember has to reach at least 700 degrees before it wi= ll produce a flame

This when a little smoke is good a lot of smoke is bet= ter.
