Good book for beginner. Detailed teaching style. As an example he shows you how to hold the tools and the angle to cut for Best look. Simple enough to follow and your u will have a number of projects completed by book end.

The subtitle should emphasize patterns more and techniques less, but the book's still very worth what I paid for it. If you can get it cheap or at the library, it's a good reference. I'm not sure I'd buy it for full price though.
