Reads like a Term Paper or part of a Masters Thesis,
The entire “paper”, I’d hardly call it a book, isn’t worth $20.00. The author constantly refers to illustrations in books that are loooongggg out of print, and having done so makes it extremely difficult to learn anything from it. You won’t like this “paper” unless you happen to own or have access to these books (referred to by the author): Roubo, Andre-Jacob: L’Art du menuisier, 1761-1788; Moxon, Joseph:Mechanick exercises, 1703; Nicholson. Peter: The mechanic’s companion, 1832; Diderot, Denis: L’encyclopedie, ou dictionnaire raisonne des sciences, des arts et des metiers, 1751-1765; Petrie, Sir William Matthew Flinders: Tools and weapons illustrated by the Egyptian collection in University College, London, 1917

No illustrations!,
I downloaded the book onto my computer thinking that the illustrations would be there, but sadly they are not. The book is useless without out them!
