This must be Ted Cole’s tool chest; next time I’m in that neck o’the woods, Ted has mentioned that I can have a look at it. Ted’s also infamous for his cake; best not to try a lump though :lol: - Rob

That's the one. It's such an unusual and special chest it's had a book written about it. Here's a teaser photo - all WH2 members will be very welcome.

Chatting with Ted Cole on Faffbook this morning, the book is now on sale in the V&A. Much kudos! - Rob

We’re going up to Le Smoke next month and we always call into the V&A so I’ll get my copy on the day. Later on I’m also going to Bristol (primarily Bristol Design) but I’ll make arrangements to call in into see Ted and have a look at the tool chest and also get my copy of his book autographed - Rob

Best to order direct here:

https://taths.org.uk/shop/books/the-warrington-chest

The trouble is, big booksellers subscribe to a data service from Nielsens, who run the ISBN system in many countries. So when a new title is due, Waterstones, Amazon etc get the title, author, picture, price etc in advance, whether or not they have made any arrangements for getting copies from the publisher.

A tiny publisher like TATHS relies on volunteers and isn't set up to supply them.

You'll probably get an email from Waterstones saying sorry but they can't supply.

Rob, I think wires have got crossed. The V&A have bought a copy for their internal library but they won't have it in their gift shop.

Are you sure about that Andy? I’ve just checked Tedster’s post on Faffbook and he seems to think it’s going to be stocked - Rob

I don't do Facebook but I have checked with Ted. Ordering from TATHS is the only way to buy a copy. (It's pretty painless, all online, PayPal or credit card.)
