arvidj, if you email Hemingwaykits, they'll give you current prices for just the plans alone. I ordered a few sets of plans a couple years ago (very nice large prints on good quality paper stock) along with the book you're looking for. Kirk Burwell is who I worked with via email, so it's just kirk@ hemingwaykits.com

Kirk is a great guy, very helpful.
If you want a list of the projects in the book-
Quick retracting tool holder for screw cutting, dies and die holders, boring tool making, ball handle tool, tailstock micrometer, workshop bending rolls, small rotary table, quick action hand rest ( built it - very handy (no pun intended)), lathe tool turrets, boring heads ( construction notes for), designing a lathe back stop, looking after a lathe.
Basically it's a damn good read. Even over here it's expensive but the plans etc and notes are worth it.
Hemingway produce kits based around this book. Yes the kits are excellent ( got 2 so far ( one's maturing under the bench - you know how it goes....)
Hope that's of use.
