NEW! The Art of Flint Knapping, Sixth Edition* by
D.C. Waldorf with illustrations by the late Valerie Waldorf. The 4th Edition of
1993 saw the last major revisions of the earlier texts until 2006 when two
appendices were added for a 5th. These were intended to address some of the
discrepancies between antler and modern copper tools and their use without
doing a total rewrite. However, in the last 30 years so much has changed that a
major rework was needed in order to eliminate any ambiguities while greatly expanding
and further enhancing the original text. What is new is more on tools, both
traditional and modern, and the differences in their use for both percussion
and pressure, more on the intricacies of the production of North American
bifaces including the most comprehensive overview of notching types, tools, and
techniques ever presented in a book on flint knapping, and a whole lot more! Even
with these new additions and embellishments the mission of the original work
still remains the same. Herein are no pie-in-the-sky theories; all has been
tested by me, and many others, and found to be true. 8 ½ X 11, saddle staple bound with black covers featuring
color photos of 25 points made by the author from various materials, 92 pages
with 168 figures, 26 are color photos!, the rest are fine line illustrations by the
late Valerie Waldorf. Price, $25.
