Synopsis: Everyone needs more storage -- whether for household items and ki= tchenwares, books and other media, or just plain stuff. That's why building=
bookcases, built-ins, and cabinets is so popular among carpenters and wood= workers, whether the project is a simple shelved built-in or a high-style b= ookcase. Although building a basic box is fairly easy, constructing one tha=
t will hold a heavy load and has style takes some design savvy. Originally = published in 2012, this new edition of "Bookcases, Built-Ins & Cabinets" fr=
om Taunton Press is an invaluable collection of articles from Fine Homebuil= ding and Fine Woodworking magazines, featuring some of America's most accom= plished carpenters and woodworkers who contribute their DIY advice on build= ing sturdy bookcases, built-ins, and cabinets.

Critique: Beautifully and informative illustrated throughout, and an essent= ial, core addition to personal, professional, and community library woodwor= king collections, "Bookcases, Built-Ins & Cabinets" is an ideal DIY instruc= tional guide and 'how-to' manual that is especially appropriate for the woo= dworking hobbiest and homeowner.
