Biscuit joiners can be vital power tools for furniture making and other projects. Here, Bailey (Routing for Beginners) introduces tool use and general safety and includes a review of products and supplies, the majority of which are not available in the United States. While the instructions and illustrations are clear and consistent, the arrangement is mediocre, as are the sample projects for utilizing the biscuit joiner. The main drawback-the European emphasis-makes this a less-than-desirable book for American audiences. A better choice would be Jim Stack's The Biscuit Joiner Project Book.
