A biased opinion to be sure, but in my view, it is a classic; my
credenza is on the back cover. Design, design process, construction,
all in the same text; what elese is there? If only one piece inspires
it's worth the 20 bucks. No need for a review. Maybe leaf through the
thing at B&N.

Hallo!
I am trying to fill my 'DIY furniture design' shelf.
After googling a little in this NG, I got the feeling that Taunton Books
are some sort or 'Must Have', and so I think that 'Designing Furniture' id
going to stay on the shelf, together with some more subject-specific
books.
On the other hand, I am mostly interested in modern (and NON-RUSTIC)
style: looking the only review present at Amazon's for Taunton's 'Modern
furniture projects', it seems not the book for me.

Browsing Amazon I found an "In the modern style" which seems more oriented
to my own tastes, but there's no review, and it is difficult to judge
these sort of books from the TOC. Does anybody hear knows about it?

However, as for me getting books from Amazon means always a couple of week
wait and a significant shipping cost (I am from Italy, which should also
give you some more clues about my tastes), it would be great if some of
you could help me with some suggestions.

Thank you,
Luciano
