<p>Popular Woodworking Books offers you a quality printing of this quality 1891 woodworking text, with a foreword from Christopher Schwarz. Our reprint of David Denning's classic The Art and Craft of Cabinet-Making (first printed in 1891) is a must-have for every woodworking student particularly those who appreciate not only pre-electric woodworking tools and techniques, but those who want a well-made tome that will last at least as long as the best mortise-and-tenon joint. This hardcover, cloth-bound and foil-stamped book features acid-free paper and a Smyth-sewn binding, and was printed in the U.S.A. But it not only looks and feels great, it's chock-full of must-read information, not the least of which is: Be a skeptic; not everything you read is true (including a few apocryphal things in this book, such as the tale of how mahogany was introduced to Great Britain, which recent scholarship has debunked). It's a product of it's time (and includes the period advertisements!) and the hand-tool instruction is spot on. Plus, it simply a good read (and quite funny by Victorian standards!) Denning is an excellent writer.</p>
