 An excellent book for both beginners and intermediates May 5, 2008
I recommend this book for everybody that wants to, has or is acqainted to woodworking. Gives guidance on identifyiing wood; buying, using and maintaining hand- and powertools and all this on a high quality glossy paper. Good value for small money.

I wouldn't call this book a manual of woodworking, I'd call it a manual synopsis of 20 year old tools. All this book does is tell you about the various tools used in woodworking in the 1980's, and it does so with a pretentious tone. My favorite part of the book is the section about this new tool called the cordless drill; the author seems to think these heavy and cumbersome tools are just a flash in the pan trend. Save your money by using google to find woodworking blogs.
Beautifull book March 18, 2008
This book is like a good piece of furniture: not only useful, but also there's some art to it: it is well done with tons of photos of work and tools and nice diagrams. This is one of the best on woodwork. I recommend it.
 Pretty Pictures, Pretty Helpful February 23, 2008
I had to buy this book for a woodworking shop but was interested enough after flipping through it that I actually read some of it. It has lots of very nice color photographs and uses diagrams and drawings to explain woodworking knowhow in an easy-to-understand fashion.
Tons of Info June 14, 2007
This book is a bit breif in its details, but has a ton of general information that is great. I recomend having it on the self to refer to on any new project.
