We are fixing to remodel our home and my wife and I need ideas on what styles of molding, baseboards, window and door facing trimwork to use. After looking through several books, we decided this was one of the best. We like this book because we can show it to our son who is making most of our molding with his router. This book shows us many different trim possibilities. It shows us how to take plain moldings and build them up on top of each other to become a great trimwork (molding). When out son, who is a carpenter, approved this book because of the many trimwork ideas, we knew it was a great book to purchase. If you need a book that has many different trimwork ideas, this is a great book.
Very shallow overview of a large range of applications and designs. Short on the historical associations of the different periods, to be fair, this subject matter could easily be divided into a half-dozen or more books. If I don't give it away I will use it to explain concepts to an inexperienced person. Very nice photography.
