As suggested by the title of this review, the book is largly pictorial. Also, recognizing another cliche: “The devil is in the details”, I find the book very worthwhile. The reference to detail has to do with the quality of work that generally separates good from excellent. The pictures do not always allow a detailed assessment, but if you try to evaluate your work as a customer will (What are your expectations for the price you are asking?), it is a good starting point. I think this is especially true if you consider the author’s suggested price BEFORE you begin building a project. Aside from the kind of wood used, finishing detail, and the reputation of the craftsman, some kinds and styles of furniture are in more demand than are others; hence a higher price!
Would I again purchase the REFERENCE GUIDE (the book is just that!): Definitely!
