1: Best tool guide so far but still hoping for something better
This is an excellent book for collectors and just folks who like tools. Like the others mentioned I only wish it was indexed or set up so that a person could look up a specific tool. It is still the best I have seen and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading about tools and looking at the excellent photos.
It does not tell you much about the history or application of the tools. There are other books that do this. This author/editor has written a book that is for those of us who already know something about tools.

2: Early Joiners Tools
Excellent photos and descriptions of a huge range of joiners tools and equipment - really interesting.

3: Nice Book-Just wish you could search by maker...
We like this tool price guide book, but we just wish it was set up so you could look up tools by their maker rather than by just what they are. If you wanted to look up a certain Stanley Plane you would have to go to the planes section and read each description to find a Stanley plane. The index does not go by the maker of the tool, it just goes by what type of tool you are looking up. Still a useful price guide with beautiful photos.

4: his favorite new book
I purchased this book for my boyfriends birthday. He is very interested in old tools, and old things in general. He Loves it. He takes it out to the machine shed and compares tools, or just glances at the pages in the evenings. The two largest sections are those on plumb bobs and planes.
