In the past, we have published readers' questions, leaving the answers to the next issue. Now we forward all the questions to Marlow and Frank for answering ; then the editors select those of general interest for publication. As always, we encourage readers to expand on or take issue with the advice provided by our experts, and we'll pass on reader experiences in subsequent columns. We're grateful to all the woodworkers who have responded to the column so far ; often, we receive a letter containing not just one answer but a detailed response to a whole list of questions. We hope readers will continue to take time out from their own work to share their knowledge with others. Every quarter, we receive several hundred letters to the editor. The ones that comment on magazine articles and the woodworking arts in general are excerpted for the Letters columns ; those asking and answering questions to the QIA columns, and those offering tips and techniques go to Methods a/ Work. Many letters suggest topics for future articles, information about craftsmen who might be the subject of an article, or are from readers offering to write an article. We are particularly grateful for all of these, and we follow up on them , because they are our primary source of editorial material. Finally, our favorite letters come from readers who pungently criticize the magazine itself or who simply want to say they enjoy it, and which articles they found most useful. We don 't publish these letters, because they don't add to the store of knowledge of woodworking. Instead, we pass them around the office and savor them. With this issue, John Makepeace joins Colin Tipping as editorial correspondent in England. Makepeace is one of Britain's foremost furniture designers and proprietor of a workshop and school at Parnham House, Beaminster, Dorset.

Most refund the catalog price with the first order ; their addresses can be found in their advertisements elsewhere in this issue. After a brief flirtation with volume numbers for each issue of Fine Woodworking, the contents page of this issue sensibly switches to sequential whole numbers. Thus our first issue, Winter '75, is No. 1, and this issue, Winter '77, is No. 9. Back issues may be ordered by date or by whole number, and life in our subscription department will be much simpler. In Fall ' 77 , p. 33, grain raised by water in refinishing should be sanded with 220-grit paper or finer, not with 80 or 100 grit. In Fall '76, p. 22, the legend under the graph showing seasonal variations in mois· ture content slips out of phase at the third summer. Ir should continue to alternate WInter-summer. Gerald R. Ward, assistant curator of the Yale University Art Gallery, notes that in' "Painted Furniture," (Fall '77, p. 48) we neglected to credit the Empire-style couch to Yale's collection. We also take this occasion to note that in the same article, the small sewing box belongs to the Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum of Dearborn, Mich.; the blanket chest came from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York ; the music cabinet was lent by Gary Moody of St. Paul, Minn.; "Face Chair" was lent by Nancy Hoffm an Gallery, New York ; "Maple Mable" was lent by the art· ist ; the painted cupboard came from the Minneapolis Institute of Arts ; and the Boston rocker was lent by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
