"Husband said this is a great book."
"Great book and easy to understand."
"Well illustrated and it gives you multiple ways to accomplish each joint (usually by hand, router, or table saw)."
"Some of the material is just so limited and general but then again the type of material in it I refer to is not the material I bought this for."
"Much however is with hand tools versus a modern approach with a router / saws etc."
