Back when I was a young'un I probably had you beat on the number of 
reads.   That is a great book for all kinds of projects.   Ben Hunt 
used to write articles for Boy's Life, the Boy Scout magazine.  His 
book on wood carving is great also.  I got a replacement copy a few 
years ago just to have one around.

The prices on the new ones are crazy high at least on Amazon but 
there are a bunch of used listings on there

There are also a number on Ebay right now.  Just search for Ben Hunt Indian.
