Here is his email as of my last contact with him:

To the moderator that edited my previous post. Thank You!

Obviously, my age got in the way of my common sense! I'm too trusting, according to my wife.

OP: do a Google search for Barry Young, camera builder. You hopefully can reach him. His books are well worth what you will pay for them.

Better yet: With Moderator's permission... PM me for his email address and with all due respect to privacy and scammers I can provide you with the contact information that I have for him.

Again, Moderator: Thank You for looking out for us! You are appreciated. You are the BLUE of the internet! My hat is off to all of you!

Better yet, here's a post from Mr. Barry Young himself regarding this subject: https://www.largeformatphotography....-New-Bellowsmaking-Book&highlight=Barry+Young

See post #10 for his email address.

This is where I contacted him regarding both of his books that I cited earlier: Building an 8 x 10 Camera and his Bellows Making book (Sorry, I don't have a photo of it at hand. It's in storage).

Unless I've violated another rule. Ask my boss (or my wife). I've been accused of this by both

Tim:
It looks like the OP hasn't yet crossed the 20 post threshold, so the Private Conversation function is partially disabled for them.
However, if they makes one more post, they should be able to start a Conversation. Alternatively, you could start one, and they can participate.

No problem Tim - we are just trying to protect people from scammers harvesting email addresses!
