"I would like to commend David Russell on this fascinating history of woodworking tools. The book shows clearly the kinds of tools that enabled craftsmen to make the most beautiful pieces of furniture and other items."--David Linley; "This is a superb achievement."--Huon Mallalieu, Country Life; "The Russell collection volume [is] intended to glamorize unsung innovations."--Eve M. Kahn, New York Times; "Considered the most serious work of reference of its kind to date and destined to become a 'bible' in its field."--Sheffield Telegraph; "Lavish, stunning, outstanding, magnificent ... superlatives just don't do justice to this book."--Carl Duguay, Canadian Woodworking & Home Improvement
