This is a great book. I wasn't sure if I should get it, because I couldn't find any reviews anywhere. I decided to go for it, because it was written by the people at scroll saw magazine. I'm glad I did. I've only read the first chapter so far with basic "how to" info. I'm already seeing a huge improvement in my projects. I'm getting smoother cuts and crisper corners, and doing it at a faster pace. I can't wait to do some of the projects they provide. The only improvement I would suggest is making it spiral bound for easier photo-copying of the patterns.
