Customer Reviews

Build like a pro!
Although the book is primarily aimed at an American audience, the content is of use to anyone wishing to install any interior timber trims to a new or existing property. The advice for built-ins is a good basis for those wishing to try their hand, but is probably lacking in design ideas for the more adventurous.
Overall, well worth buying if you want to do things properly
