Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Finally back in print, Carpentry & Joinery, first published in
1907, is the bible of finish carpentry from a golden era of
architectural woodworking. Every aspect of joinery is covered in
this book, with more than 1800 engravings and twelve spectacular
plates to illustrate the topics. This incredibly comprehensive
volume contains chapters on timber; joints; floors; partitions;
windows; doors; moldings; tools and more. Each subject is explored,
illustrated, and examined first in the simple case and then in
fancier and fancier permutations. This is the best instruction ever
written that explains the details of both simple and fancy late
Victorian architectural woodworking. Whether you are a joiner,
restorer, or architect, you will be amazed at the level of
practical information, clarity of explanation, and continued
utility of this book. Certain subjects which are commonly ignored
such as the use of joiner s rods are covered in great detail along
with detailed instructions for layout all the various constructions
in the book. Because this is such an important book we wanted an
expert opinion to put the book in the context of its time. In a new
introduction master housewright Roy Underhill compares the
instruction in the book with a first hand account of an early 20th
century joiner. "We again have the voices of first rate masters at
our sides." - Roy Underhill, from his Introduction The original
book contained 12 color plates which, sadly, we could not afford to
reproduce in color. However we are making a PDF of the color plates
available for download http:
