    • Nice book of Desks
This is one book in a series that contains many good designs. It is a good starting point but one will want to extend these designs beyond to fully realize their building potential.

    • Fine woodworkers do not necessarily make fine writers
I bought this book because I wanted to build the laptop computer table. I am astounded by the glaring errors in the "plans" for this table. I haven't yet finished building the table but have already encountered six errors in the plans. The text is misleading and in some parts downright wrong. In many cases, you are left to figure out your own dimensions. Do not cut anything based solely on the cut lists in this book. The best advice I could give you is to use the plans in this book as a guide - NOTHING MORE! Make your own drawings and double - triple check the dimensions before you cut a single board. Coming from Taunton Press - the publishers of Fine Woodworking magazine, I would have expected meticulous attention to detail in this book. Unfortunately, fine woodworkers do not necessarily make fine writers. ... show more

    • very poor desk plan book
I don't know where you got the book from it had a closeout price sticker on it for $3.00. I paid your price and it only had one full size desk plan in it. I am very unhappy with the book.

    • Excellent information
As usual for Taunton this book is full of very useful information. It covers several styles of desks, both usage styles and design styles. There is information on storage design, with different storage nook options based on the expected use of the desk. Information on material selection for the desk based on how a desk is used. Different joinery methods and why they are better/worse for the usage of a desk. If you are wanting to build a desk, of any style, this would be a very useful book to have. ... show more

    • Fundamental reading
Good book on the basics of desk making. Pretty much all there with even some helpful tips on customizing. Good read.
