I had heard good things, but even so, I was impressed by the BBBB. It covers an exceptionally wide variety of projects, enough to keep even the most dedicated toymaker busy for quite some time. Furthermore, the book is clear and easy to follow. The plans, in particular, are excellent. I subscribe to more than one glossy woodworking magazine with more ambiguity in their plans. One feature that I particularly liked was the way the author laid out measurements. As any craftsman knows, some measurements are more important than others: for example, the height and width of a drawer are dictated by the opening it must fit into, but the depth of the drawer is not so critical. All the detailed plans in the book not only show the measurements, but plainly show which measurements are important, and which can vary to suit. As far as I am concerned, this book is the yardstick against which all similar books must be measured.

I ordered this book for my apartment manager, of which I have become close friends to. It arrived today, and he allowed me to go through it with him. All I can say is WOW! The book shows everything that a person could need to know: What hardware is needed, what skills you must understand and learn, what techniques to use... I definitely give this five stars - and am going to order a copy for myself!
