This is a “for sale” posting of David Coffin’s CD book “On Making Pants”. The CD book is wonderful, just like all the rest of David Coffin’s books and articles. The topic is the making of pants, not the fitting of pants. The only reason I am not keeping it is because reading it on the computer is stressful to me, I just don’t enjoy it. I have listened to the audio tour with its slide show and skimmed the chapters and I know I will never go back to read it all in depth on the computer. I am asking $25 including postage.

Why don't you just print it out? You're allowed to do that and it's what most folks do. I can't read on a computer screen all day, either. Print the book, stick it in a binder.
I considered it. The Moulage CD by Kenneth King I did print out - at work on the big Xerox machine while no one was looking, shhh - and that worked well for me since KK's book is just black and white text. Coffin's pants book has some audio with stills, video/audio clips of a few key techniques, lots of full color pictures of real garments, color illustrations, and text pages that have a fun open-book look. It really is nicely done. If it was a regular book I would love having it as bedtime reading. After looking at it on my computer a few times I realized I was not going to make the extra effort plus ink to print out anything or to study it on the screen. Rather than have the CD lie unused forever I decided to sell it to let someone else enjoy this great CD book.So if anyone is interested, let me know. Shipping worldwide is included.
