I am completely beginner, I start by frameworks. This book is aptly named encyclopedia woodworking, where each section is well developed, with beautiful photos and readable diagrams.
Wood species, tools, all working phases are detailed, and the tricks and security. Beginners as well as, I believe, the most seasoned carpenters find happiness with this book, which is well worth its high price. I think progress little by little thanks to him.
So I recommend it!
