This review is from: Basic Stairbuilding (Paperback)
If you want to know the very basics of building a straight simple stair case this book is ok. But if you want different ideas on staircase design, trimming, railing, etc. don't buy this one. I'm still looking for a good book w/ ideas about railing, trimming an open staircase, alternate ways to build skirts, etc. This book explains very well one (complicated)method for stair case design and construction and then offers 1 page on design alternatives.

This review is from: Basic Stairbuilding (Paperback)
I was looking for a book that would help me both deign and eventually build a set of stairs for our new home...the book is very helpful, I really liked the photographs that showed the real situation, and the line drawings were accurate. The pictures are in black and white only, but that is not really a problem as they are clear. Several styles are described from very simple to more elaborate rebated/housed designs.If you have some idea of what you are doing then this will definately clarfiy a few things for you

This review is from: Basic Stairbuilding (Paperback)
This book helped me quite a bit when rebuilding my existing staircase. It has tons of the basics (rise + run, etc), but I wish there was a little more about baluster placement and handrail angles. Overall, it helped me get the job done so I do recommend it.
There is a video associated with the book, which I was able to find at my library. It was even more helpful to me than the book.
