Review: Great read for a guide book - A great book for dipping into for tips or inspiration. It would have helped to have an index for finding particular things in the text, but whether for general tips or project ideas it's a great source book. Review: Really useful book - I bought the book to learn tips from people that have been there before, I have found several tips I know but lots that are very useful. It's American, so language and products are different, if puzzled google it. There are loads of colour photos so if you are not sure what the product is you can recognise it visually. It will be useful for me learning to make furniture. Glad I purchase it and good value for money
