As a new woodworker this was one of the first three books I purchased to learn the basics of woodworking. The number of joints and variations on joints included in this book is astounding. The author breaks the book down into six sections: Edge and Scarf Joints, Lapped and Housed Joints, Mortise-and-Tenon Joints, Miters and Bevels, Dovetails, and Dowels and Biscuits. He then explains the basics of the joint before going into dozens of variations on each joint. Included are hundreds of photos and illustrations along with how-to instructions. I haven't has a chance to try most of them, however, I am looking forward to increasing the level of my woodworking skill as I try new methods of wood joining.

[George Sudarkoff]

Good selection of joints, great illustrations.

Sort of a visual dictionary of joinery, with tips and basic techniques.
