This book is the "Gray's Anatomy" of woodworking.Illustrated Cabinetmaking, by Bill Hylton, is a visual reference to take the guesswork out of designing kitchen cabinets, desks, bookcases and chests by applying the time-honored dimension and ergonomic standards presented. It features hundreds of drawings, which provide "classic" solutions to age old construction problems. For example, the book presents at least five ways to hang a drawer and four ways to attach a table top. A section covers more than 100 joints, while the "subassemblies" section explains how to use those joints to assemble tabletops, doors, drawers and more. The Furniture section explains how to combine joints and subassemblies to construct more than 100 pieces. It also provides rule-of-thumb design standards, such as the height of a dining table and the depth of kitchen cabinets, tips for altering designs, and sources for locating published plans.With more than 100 project plans for everything from tables to beds to built-ins, woodworker Hylton's (Router Magic) exhaustive primer, whose original, 1998 edition is now out of print, still has great value for any woodworking collection. He begins with a brief introduction to period style, then covers joinery in depth. There are no glamour shots, only clear, black and white drawings for assembly and measurements. Exploded view drawings highlight each piece's details and special features. Because of the few instructions on construction, this is not a book for beginners; rather, it is a collection of patterns with citations to additional offerings in other books and publications. For the advanced woodworker, it is a treasure trove of project ideas. Recommended for woodworking collections in any library.

Nice overview of furniture design This is a great companion to other books. Those books tell you HOW to make stuff, or what tools to use. This one gives you lots of ideas for WHAT to make other than endless layers of workshop accessories and retreads of the same box/chest/table design. Lots of variety and practical help.What it's not is purely cabinetry. Some other reviews bought this looking for cabinets and regret it. I skipped this book for a long time, intending to make furniture. And now I regret that. This is a great book to have on your shelf when you're cooking up plans or asking SWMBO what she wants.Update: This is one of those books I keep turning to for design and planning help. It's one of those rare books that's both a great introduction and reference. It belongs in the shelf of anyone who makes furniture.Excellent book for understanding what joints are used where on what pieces. This is a fantastic book for anyone who wants the following question answered- what joints were used to hold that piece together ? This is what I was looking for, so I am very very happy. Virtually every piece of furniture is shown in exploded form and the joints are revealed and in some cases discussed. If you're a capable woodworker, this is the really critical information you need to make your own variations on any given piece.If you're looking for actual plans with measurements etc, then this is not the book for you although I should add that each piece odes have a reference to plans or an article on that piece. This doesn't appear to be an ad for some plan-provider but rather draws from a wide variety of the usual places .. Fine Woodworking editions or online articles or another book.It's hard to tell which reviews are legit because people get paid to ( I have personally talked with people who were paid to do this) flood the reviews of items with three and ten word reviews giving it five stars. Reading these reviews and realizing they're bought and paid for makes trusting the reviews here hard.I hope potential buyers of this book can see my review is legitimate. I am very happy with this book, it gave me just what I needed with excellent and very clear illustrations. I just went and looked; my book has 367 pages and each piece gets about two pages so there's about 180 or so pieces.A case of re marketing? Here is another book on furniture making that seems to be re marketed for Cabinet Making. For that reason only four stars, as I wasn't born yesterday. Evidently Cabinet Making books are outselling all other furniture making books, hence the cross marketing. What this book does well is show every type of traditional glue joint you might possibly need to make cabinets and other furniture, but it is not set up for those who want to be guided through making their own kitchen cabinets. However using this book for learning joinery, if you master what is taught here: what joint to use and why to use it. You will be able to make your own cabinets and design them yourself. You won't need a layout plan.It seems like some of the reviewers expect that for the price of the book they should get all the details of the author's plans as well, which is unrealistic. Once you learn the joinery, you will have confidence that you can DIY. If you want more modern applications of hardware for drawers and doors, get David Getts, "Cabinet Doors and Drawers" it is the best guide for "Cabinet Making" I own.
