Then there is the grea answer by Forestgirl, who must be very young, because she can remember where the last thread was that asked the same question. Read through all the books and see which ones you want to buy so you can keep them close. One is from RickL who said that it is all personal preference!!! Right on, Rick!! He suggested you go to the library. To my way of thinking, you got two great answers so far. Are you trying to become the next Norm? IF so, try the books that ghostwriters have written for Norm. There are others that are more appropriate.

If so, then the answer from gb93433 is perfect "Any of the books by Krenov." Are you trying to do 18th Century reprodutions using only hand tools? If so, stay away from the Krenov books. You want a list of books that's best for you.
