No Use for carpentry Mar 29, 2000
The book is just a bunch of pretty photographs. No how-to or what materials/how much to buy. Mainly for interior decorators.

Good design and project book for experienced craftsman Jan 23, 2006
By B. Searles
"claymaiden"
This is not a book for novices, and that is the appeal here. No slap-dash weekend projects, this book is slim and does give all of the instructions needed. There's enough information to guide the motivated handy-person through built-in furniture making or room reconstruction. The book is not for the meek, but those equipped with decent tools and patience.

Good reference for wood types Apr 04, 2006
By Rebecca Sager This book is one of the few on the market that gives a comprehensive breakdown of the different qualities of wood and plywood available.
The clear figures and inventory of techniques that included definitions of highly specialized terms enabled me, a novice, to communicate with experienced woodworkers. Now I'm confident arriving at the lumber yard, because I have already considered exactly the right product I need for the project at hand.
