The year 2000 was a turning point for Popular Woodworking magazine. In 1999 the new owners of our magazine gave us a green light to redesign the entire publication and start down the path we are on today.

That was when we started adding a significant amount of stories about hand tools into our pages, blending them carefully with our power-tool coverage. We started adding top-shelf contributing writers, such as Nick Engler, Roy Underhill and Scott Phillips. And we brought on staff a new photographer and art director.

So if you like Popular Woodworking now but you didn't subscribe in 2000, we think you'll like this new CD. On it, we've put all eight issues we published in 2000 (that was when we published an annual Tool Buying Guide) in pdf format. All of the advertisements have been removed. It's just 425 pages of pure woodworking content – and completely text-searchable – for $19.96.

As a bonus, we've included on the CD a complete index of all the stories in both a spreadsheet and word processing format. Plus, we've included a bonus issue on this CD, the September 1999 issue of Popular Woodworking – that's the first issue that features our new design (and is another 66 pages of bonus content).

The CD is in stock now and ready for immediate shipping. The CD works with both PCs and Macintosh computers running Adobe Reader 6.0 or later (Reader is a free program). Simply click 'Add to Cart' to order your copy of this exclusive disk now, or call 800-258-0929 and mention item #PW2000
