Welcome to The Bookshelf

First, let me tell you what The Bookshelf is. It is nothing more than my reviews of books that I think are important and that I feel you should read, or better yet own. Every review on this page is a book that I have purchased, read, and felt the need to write a reviews for. As I work on this page, more and more reviews will be posted.   It is important to also state that just because a book is not listed here doesn't mean that it is not worth your time. There are many books out there that are treasures and guides for different people.  My hope is to find, read and post as many reviews as possible.  I do not give ratings to my book review because I feel every book on this page has a 5 Star rating, or it wouldn't be here. 

Let me tell you what the bookshelf IS NOT, it IS NOT paid advertising for publishing companies or for authors, it IS NOT books that I feel are unimportant and you can do without, it IS NOT a list of reviews that give you every little secret of every book so you don't need to read them for yourself, it IS NOT an all encompassing list of every good woodworking book every written. 

Just click on the book and the review will show up.
