Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Be Nice If they ever send the book
I canot review this bok at its the only one out of about seven books i ordered on amazon. I wrote to whoever was supposed to send it and i have heard nothing back. This is the last amazon book purchase i will make. They sure charged my credit card though.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not basic enough; not insightful enough
Given the contradiction in the subtitle, I should have been wary. The book claims to explain "basic framing", but is "for pros by pros". The problem is that the book never finishes anything it starts. The instructions are vague and incomplete, and don't discuss what to do when things go wrong.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good book , Bad binding
VERY informative, need a slight tweeking for 2008 Guidelines for Los Angeles County. Otherwise I thought it was excellent reading, either at the site or in the kitchen with a cup of Coffee.
They need to rethink the binding, the pages fall out after awhile, but Otherwise I'm ready for the next edition. Many thanks to the Author.

I want a Larry Haun tee shirt, beer mug, calendar, tool bag and special edition saw. It is a pleasure to read a book that was written by someone who knows what he is talking about.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good book. Could be better.
Mr. Haun certainly knows a great deal about carpentering and he conveys a lot of that knowledge in this book; however, terms are introduced prior to being defined or explained, which makes it a bit difficult to extract the information. If one has the patience to read the entire book, the terms are eventually explained, but it requires you to go back and re-read the parts where these mysterious terms were initially used. A little help from a professional writer/editor would enhance the value of the book. ... Read More
