Randy Burgess –
This book is a collection of articles on making bookcases from “Popular Woodworking Magazine.” I bought the Kindle version on the strength of the first chapter, titled “Techniques”, as shown in Preview on Amazon – it looked like there was some useful background info on how to make strong book shelves in general. However that’s pretty much the only usable chapter for me and retrospectively I wish I hadn’t bought the book: all the project articles but one assume you’ve got a ton of expensive woodworking equipment, which I don’t. If you’re a fan of that sort of article, or of the sort of magazine that “Popular Woodworking” appears to be, you might like this book; but otherwise, I’d recommend against it.
