Great book for somebody with just a little woodworking knowledge and experience. The first couple chapters cover a few basic tools and techniques. The remainder of the book has in-depth instructions for building usful pieces for around the home, each containing ample diagrams, measurements, and photos.
I borrowed this book from the local library, but may well buy a personal copy.
