Stabs 2 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Are you looking for a manual? A kind of digging by numbers job? Or a story book/article type affair? There's not many in the former category but there's a few in the latter. One of the first I ever read with a "how to dig" slant was Jeremy Hobson's.....things have come a long way since then.
