Can anyone tell me whether this book is paperback or hardcover? If it's worth buying? Thanks.

Its a really good book. It mainly concerns with osage flatbows and goes into quite a bit of subtlety.
Not really a beginners book, but good for someone who is already established with basic bowmaking concepts and a bit of practical experience.

Great book! It is well written and very well illustrated. Stim deals with the osage bow in excellent fashion. Jawge

It is a great book. Stim takes you step by step through the bow building process. It is well written and well illustrated. I got to meet Stim last year at the Classic and watched him build a hatchet bow in about 15 minutes.
