Not what you expect
This book is great if you plan on building a home using the techniques. However it is not the book I expected. For one, I thought the book Japanese Joinery by Yasuo Nakahara, was the book I would receive. A $200 book for $40 who wouldn't. Instead for $40 I was mailed an $11 book.
This is more about the integrity of the seller than anything else. Who does that?
