### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good info but the print quality is not so good
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2022*

I have been turning bowls for about three years now and decided it was high time to get some schooling and bought this book.  Well written and organized it provided info that took me months to learn on my own in addition to those "why the F#$% is this happening" problems. It was comprehensive, well organized and a great learning tool. I want to buy Mr Raffans Design book  but for the reservation that the print quality of this one turns me off. Truth be told; I like books and this one is digitally printed and lacks the quality of an offset print. The photos lack any depth and the color is terrible. I have other, albeit older publication from Taunton Press and have always respected them but this one, not so much.Bottom line, great info and great book but presentation  is a C-

    Great Wood Turning Material
  

*by F***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2013*

Being new to wood turning, I purchased this Kindle book for my Fire so I can research my eventual bowl turning exercise with a recently purchased lathe.  My only criticism is that the conversion from print to Kindle book creates odd formatting issues. The pages do not flow well, with many photo captions being exactly as the text body, rendering many deja vu moments!  I have no doubt that I will try several of the tricks / skills which Richard shares.  I have also purchased a "newbie" ebook for learning the lathe machine inside and out, particularly which turning tool for which application.  Richard's book is written was if we know many of the terms already - not best for a new entry to turning, but for a person who is skilled at turning, but is ready to turn a bowl or two.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I Learned A Lot
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2018*

I found this book very informative and learned a lot about what made some bowls more appealing than others and how to go about achieving that goal of making a better bowl. The instructions on tool usage and techniques gave me a better understanding of what went wrong in some of my turning and how to improve my technique. A great book chocked full of great information.
