Customer Reviews

Excellent primer for millwork planning

I used this book to help me understand millwork basics and the terminology involved. The appendices includes a thorough glossary and abbreviations. I am an ERP implementation specialist who needed to get up to speed on millwork to incorporate a configuration module of the software. It worked! I now have a much better understanding of the world of millwork and the illustrations helped me understand it even better.
