Title: Don't waste your $.
Review: Don't waste your money on this book. Pictures unclear....not for the novice. Descriptions of tool use is iffy & unclear. Instead buy Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide To Turning by Richard Raffan. In Raffan's book you will learn everything you need for spindle work as well as faceplate work explained in super clear pictures and text. If you can't learn from this book you should not be using a wood lathe.
