Coffee Table Quality/How-To Practicality

This hard cover book more than lived up to my expectations, as it is published by the Taunton Press. It is printed on high quality stock (appears to be 30# or higher weight), not some flimsy paperback that would be quickly destroyed by the constant re-reading it will be subjected to. It joins the other Taunton books on woodworking I already have on my library shelves. If this is your first Taunton woodworking book, I suggest you search for and buy the other ones they've published on workbenches, small shops, tool boxes and more. You will not be disappointed, of that I am certain.
