Title: Waste of Wood
Review: This book was printed beautifully, and expensively in color. Unfortunately nobody thought to prepare the woods before photographs were taken: the wood surfaces were not cut or planed but sanded (truly horrible!). I would be ashamed to own a copy of this book: it definitely is a waste of the wood which went into making the paper it was printed on.A great deal of the information in this book can also be found in Aidan Walker's 'Identifying wood', a more modest effort which at least is modestly priced. Anyone really interested may be referred to R.Bruce Hoadley's books.
