Selecting and Drying Wood: The New Best of Fine Woodworking

I've used this book extensively. It has taught me the basics on drying wet wood for a home/hobby wood worker.

This book is a collection of articles from Fine Woodworking over the last several years. The number and scope of articles is pretty comprehensive. If you have all the mags, you can find these articles or just go to this one source and find what you need. It even has articles on staining/fading of different types of wood/stains and health concerns with certain species of domestic and imported woods--not things one always considers. Overall, def worth the $12 or so.
