I wish I could rate it zero stars,
This review is from: Designing & Building Cabinets (New Best of Fine Woodworking) (Paperback)
Not worth the money buy a different book if you are interesting in learning how to build kitchen cabinets. This book is random and appears to be chapters of previously published material.

This review is from: Designing & Building Cabinets (New Best of Fine Woodworking) (Paperback)
Yet another Taunton republication of old articles. This one packages a set related to cabinetmaking and cabinetmaking materials. You will not find detailed cabinet plans here, nor dicussions of alternative building methods in any comprehensive way, etc. What you will find is useful articles on materials and interesting tips (like the NK drawer bottoms), and so on. As such, it only makes for a casual read.
If you are looking for serious cabinet design and construction books, especially for kitchen cabinets and built-ins, look elsewhere. A few I can suggest are: Illustrated Cabinetmaking: How to Design and Construct Furniture That Works, and Cabinetmaking Procedures for the Small Shop. For drawers and doors specifically, try Building Doors and Drawers: A Complete Guide to Design and Construction.

This review is from: Designing & Building Cabinets (New Best of Fine Woodworking) (Paperback)
I liked this book. It challenges you to move past basic cabinet making to furniture quality construction. It includes good detail and suggestions that improve your skills. This book has the quality of it's namesake magazine.
