This review is from: The Essential Guide to Woodwork (Hardcover)

This book is written in a clear and concise style. It is illustrated by very nice color pictures.

The book contains usefull information but try to cover too many topics so at the end none of them is covered in enough details.

I would not recommend this book as the first book for a novice woodworker.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but be careful with plans!, June 29, 2006

This review is from: The Essential Guide to Woodwork (Hardcover)

This is a book that tries to accomplish a lot -- maybe too much. It covers many areas but often in a limited way. Nevertheless, it is good as a woodworking "survey" book and the material is attractively presented. There are a number of plans in the back of the book, and they are quite varied and different from what one often sees. Be careful, though! The author is not very careful with measurements and if you follow his plans blindly you may find that things don't come together as they should. If you spend some time with the plans first, you should be o.k.

Beautiful book, well layed out, full stitches all the way with elegant results, wide range of colors. I have bought this book a couple of years back and I recommend it to those who love stitching flowers.
