Extract from back cover of book:
Design and construct furniture that works with the help of the most complete visual guide ever published.
Ideas and Inspiration. A visual source of information ranging from furniture styles and dimensions to joinery. The essence of more than 100 classic furniture pieces is captured in highly detailed, exploded drawings
Standards. Take the guesswork out of designing kitchen cabinets, dining tables, desks, bookcases, and chests by applying the time-honored dimension and ergonomic standards shown here.
Options and Alternatives. With more than 150 joints and subassemblies at your fingertips, you'll be able to easily alter the appearance or construction of any project.
Construction Solutions. More than 1,300 drawings take you inside the furniture and show you classic solutions to age-old problems, such as: hanging a drawer, attaching a tabletop, and pegging a mortise.
Plans. If you don't have the time or inclination to design your own furniture, sources to locate the plans for most of the furniture pieces are included.
