This took me way to long to read, because of life getting in the way, however, I learned a lot from this book and it gives plenty of ideas that you can go and look up more specifics. It gives a great overview of many different techniques and options for constructing different projects. Well worth the time and money for someone looking to improve their woodworking skills and knowledge.
