Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wood (Best of Fine Woodworking) (Paperback)
it is a collection of articles pretty basic
more about history and wood triva. has one article on solar kiln but you can find that anywhere i paid 3 bucks for it and found it good for casual reeding but not really worth the time because very little new practical wood information.
