Default Good book for learning Drafting?

Three-view drawings are still the best for visualizing dimension,
proportion
and joinery. Cabinetmaking and Millwork, an ancient woodworking text by
Feirer, has good stuff in it.


George:

Just to let you know, at Amazon the hard cover book by Feirer 1970 edition
is going for $39.95
The 1989 edition of that book (used) has an asking price of $128.34
$128.34?????????
Ah, do you, or anyone, think the 1989 edition THAT much improved?
Think I will take JT's advise and check this book to be in a local
library.

Mine was the 70. I see the 89 has a different cover, but no, I'd go for the
cheaper. Information's maybe updated, but the 70 book had Delta pictures
from the 40's in it.
