Title: Written or borrowed??
Review: I have been knapping for a while and thought this book looked interesting but was sorry I bought it. Mr. Whittaker must feel the need to reference every single work by previous authors on the subject instead of creating his own insights into flint knapping. I was hoping to get his perspective on different aspects of stone tool use and making but instead found page after page of regurgitation from the work of others.The catch line, "Making and Understanding Stone Tools" was a real stretch. Don't waste you hard earned money, but some flint instead. The one reference he made from an elderly gentleman who was generous enough to share years of information went mostly unmentioned.
