Useful and informative, but.....,

This review is from: Joint Book (Spiral-bound)
This book is useful and presents information that I learned as a schoolboy. It is clear and informative, but lacks the detailed overview of joinery found in "Illustrated Cabinetmaking" by Bill Hylton. The latter does a better job of describing the use of each type of joint in woodworking in my opinion. However, the latter is less workshop friendly, as the Joint Book is spiral bound. It does an excellent job of illustrating each joint and the associated marking tools. It explains problems such as shrinkage of the wood for different types of cut, as well as the forces in the wood and ways to minimize said forces in woodworking joints. Good workshop book, rather than a bookshelf book. A worthwhile addition.

THE joinery book for EVERY woodworker,

This review is from: Joint Book: The Complete Guide to Wood Joinery (Spiral-bound)
This book is simply amazing. It shows you any joint you could ever want to build and how to do it and it does it with full color photos and drawings. There is not a single page of fluff. Every page gets right to the point and tells you what you need to know. It is also extremely well organized, not only by being intelligently divided into sections, but also with color coding so you can find what you want with ease. In addition, there is a joint index in the back of the book that shows small pictures of every joint in the book so you can flip through it and find what you're looking for if you only know what it looks like, not what it is called. That alone is worth the money but, fortunately for us, the publisher went the extra mile and made this book with a spiral binding so it stays open, and printed it with a really thick and glossy cover so it resists wear when in use around the shop, and the interior pages are all printed on thick paper stock. It's also compact (but not too small) so it isn't bulky or in your way when tyring to use it as a reference while working. This is a true book for use around the shop and it has gone beyond what I ever expected to find in a joinery book. I can not recommend it highly enough.
