    • Make Sure You Get a New Copy
Format: Paperback
First impressions not good. Book, supposedly new, arrived with some sort of sticky crap on the front and back covers, as well as what appears to be an oil stain on the bottom right corner of all pages. Hope the information is better than the presentation.

This thing is the last word on chainsaw safety, and it has 12 or so projects that you can do as well. It also has a glossary at the very back of the book for anyone to brush up on.
