Title: Excellent if you have all the machines; not so useful if you have a small shop.
Review: I chose this one because it has step-by-step color images and the format is broken down into logical sections for the beginner.The only problem is that most of the procedures require large machines (e.g., table saw, planer/joiner, wood lathe…). I have very limited space, so I have only hand tools and small machines. I could improvise based on the book's descriptions, but that still means most of the images and text are not useful for me. This book would be 5-stars if it had alternate methods for small shops. I hope the publisher makes one for that purpose in the series…If I had a larger shop, or easy access to one, I would keep this book and I will definitely re-buy it if I ever expand my shop. So, highly recommended if you have the machines!
