This is a really great book. For beginners, it provides a lot of practical intro advice on the topic. For those with more experience, there are many more subtle lessons to be learned fromt he text and beautiful photos.

Very well written. The illustrations are very clear and concise.
Simply put, an excellent reference book if you are into or want to learn how to build drawers and doors. Buy it!!

The book showed me things that I have forgotten over the years and helped me to understand the makeing of cabinette doors. Good book!

Yes, it describes the various ways to build drawers - but it needs to go a little further with examples for sizing of the drawers and doors.

This is not a good book for beginners because it doesn't tell them the distance they need to be from the bottom of the drawer. It also doesn't tell them how deep you can make the grooves without weakening the drawer too much.

It is not a good book for advanced woodworkers because of the lack of a discussion of NK type drawers and slips.

So who is it's target audience?

I was tempted to give it an even lower rating but there are some good points in the book. I would not buy it again.
