Review: Comprehensive and detailed - Bought used and is in excellent condition. The information is comprehensive and detailed, and the pictures are stunning. I am learning a lot and always become excited/inspired in my wood working hobby with this book. It goes over innumerable joints. The photos are just an example of the splined joints. Review: Wow...What a great book ! - This was the third book out of the series that I purchased. I loved Cabinet Construction and Shaping Wood and couldn't wait to get this one. I would have to disagree on the other reviews concerning this book. I found the book to be not only informative but quite a work of art in itself. Some people are wondering what audience the book is trying to target. Obviously if you consider yourself 'advanced', then you should not be needing a book on woodworking. Although I feel the book is intended for intermediate woodworkers, I beleive this book would be of use to a 'beginner' as well because it gives the reader something to shoot for. It has hundreds of photos of beautifully crafted joints. Some of these joints I have never seen before. Joints like the "Cogged Scarf" is not only imaginative but looks fun to make. This is a joint that I would probably never thought about until this book. That is how I started in woodworking. I saw something that I wanted to make and I went about learning how to do it. Some people are unhappy because of the detail of instructions. Well the joints are explained with text and pictures. I would agree that the book does not 'hold your hand' on every single step. But then how many of us have learned woodworking by reading a book? We learned it by getting outside and doing it. What is nice about this book is that it gives you the basics of what you need to know to make the joint and the rich color photographs that show you what you could achieve. I would imagine that you could go into any bookstore and find in their woodworking section a book on joints. However, I believe you would be hard pressed to find a book of this caliber on the subject. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #153,284 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #78 in Carpentry #120 in Woodworking Projects (Books) #6,440 in Crafts & Hobbies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 377 Reviews | ## Images ![The Complete Illustrated Guide to Joinery: 1,400+ Step-by-Step Photos and Diagrams for Flawless Wood Construction - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61O5ps+ZHeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive and detailed *by B***A on May 30, 2026* Bought used and is in excellent condition.
