Please note that some of the books above link to Bookshop.org. I no longer use Amazon affiliate links for many reasons, but mostly because I want to support independent bookstores. If you click on a book link and purchase the book from Bookshop.org, I will receive a very small commission from them. This allows me to pay for maintaining this website and purchase more books about woodworking. If you’re not sure about a book, check if your local library has it first. Thanks for your support!
