OK but there are better books, February 28, 2008
You can pick up a few tricks in this book but there are better choices.
Look at Charles Sharp's Review, October 23, 2007
Look at Charles Sharp's review I totally agree with him. Got this book today, nice book but not for the beginner.
Great Tips, January 11, 2005
If you're looking for a book to learn how to use a router, this isn't it.
If you have some experiance using a router this is a great book. This book contains the best ideas that Fine Woodworking readers have come up with in the last 25 years. As future projects come along, I'll be checking this book often.
Boy, was I disappointed!, January 19, 2004
I have to disagree with the reviewers who gave this book high marks. While Jim Richey is very knowledgeable, this book is a set of one-page clippings from various past magazines. The drawings are very basic, and there's not a single photograph to help the beginning to moderate woodworker. These tips are too basic for the advanced woodworker, so I really don't see an audience for this book. It didn't help me at all. There's nothing wrong with the book -- if you want to read about other people's woodworking. However, to help you build your router skills there are wiser ways to spend your money. Several are sold right here on Amazon.
