Notably this is much more informative than the other woodworking book I bought at the same time, woodworking: the complete step by step manual, which has a lot of useless sentence just repeating itself. I also like the physical quality of this book. The only complaint is that the corner is damaged during shipping, which is the fault of the seller and not the book itself. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #194,180 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #52 in Carving Crafts #103 in Carpentry #125 in Woodworking Projects (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,644 Reviews | ## Images ![The Joint Book: The Complete Guide to Wood Joinery - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tTGpwBMyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice book.

You don't see it in the picture because it is covered. It provides some great information on lots of different types of joints. I would have liked a little more info about applications, but it gives me enough. I don't care much at all for the types of drawn out pictures-i would have preferred actual photographs of what they were showing, as seen on the cover. The book was smaller than I expected, but oh well. It is a bit more than 8" tall...almost like a handbook. There may be other, better books, but for the price, this one was hard to beat. It is enough of a how-to for a beginner to advanced woodworker. Hey, there's a joint for everyone! My next book will include information about Japanese joinery-not because I am that good, but because I find it fascinating. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1608158-the-joint-book-the-complete-guide-to-wood-joinery](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1608158-the-joint-book-the-complete-guide-to-wood-joinery) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
