What are the best, or your favorite or most used, carpentry books? For general, how are Wagner’s Modern Carpentry or Koel’s Carpentry? How about Lewis’ Carpentry? For finish and trim, anyone have Tolpin’s Finish Carpentry Manual? How is Taunton’s recent Trim Carpentry and Built-Ins? These are a few I’m thinking about…I’ve got a gift certificate that’s burning a hole in my pocket.
