The Home Hardware Handbook: An Illustrated User's… di Mother Earth News

Not just a how-to book, but a tribute to the beauty of tools used in home building and repair. Wonderful photographs of planes and squares, line drawing of the kinds of nails. of the "3 essential power tools" the authors warn "Start a collection but beware the obsession." Even a warning chapter on the fire extinguisher. The book concludes with diagrams for furniture. No wonder there are 3 people wanting the book on current "swap" sites.
