A great book full of very useful information and VERY well written. I would recommend this book to all those starting out as new router users as well as for the more advanced users.

This is a great series of books, clear and simple. It does take you to some fairly advanced techniques as well. If you get them second hand, for workshop use then all the better. A word of caution though, these are american books, but anyone with an ounce of 'nouse' will easily work out what they are on about.

Pretty OK
On the whole an enlightening book, its principal but not overwhelming disadvantage being it's USA rather than UK origin with the consequent (not too major) differences.
