Book Reviews of The Black & Decker Complete Guide to Trim and Finish Carpentry: Installing Moldings, Wainscoting and Decorative Trim

Book Review: Good, could be better.
Summary: 3 Stars

I'm a big fan of these Black & Decker books, but I don't feel that the Trim and Finish Carpentry edition met my expectations. It does provide a great deal of high-level coverage info on a wide variety of projects. But it didn't go into the detail I was hoping for, specifically measuring and cutting casing, baseboard, and window stools.
If you want to know a little about a lot, this is the book for you. But if you're looking for in-depth info on specific topics, you may want to look elsewhere.

Summary of The Black & Decker Complete Guide to Trim and Finish Carpentry: Installing Moldings, Wainscoting and Decorative Trim

Replacing old trim moldings or installing decorative trim accents can change the look of a home almost as dramatically as a major remodeling job, and at a fraction of the cost. Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Trim & Finish Carpentry is aimed at growing numbers of DIY homeowners who are replacing trim and decorative moldings as a comprehensive remodeling project on its own merits.

The book shows how style makes the house, and teaches do-it-yourselfers how to effectively choose, finish and install all manner of trim moldings, from ornate baseboards to decorative crown moldings and ceiling medallions. It also includes an update on how to select and work with the new materials now gaining in popularity, including rigid fiberglass moldings and metal ceiling panels.
