Review: Bought as a gift for a friend - Great resource book
Review: Great pictures - This book has tons of high quality photos that will give you dozens of ideas. The step-by-step is only so-so but good enough to get you through a build. There are some details left out that you have to figure out yourself. I like the artist profiles. Overall this is an excellent book. Highly recommended for the photos alone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bought as a gift for a friend
*by J***D on January 6, 2026*

Great resource book

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pictures
*by K***S on October 7, 2013*

This book has tons of high quality photos that will give you dozens of ideas. The step-by-step is only so-so but good enough to get you through a build. There are some details left out that you have to figure out yourself. I like the artist profiles. Overall this is an excellent book. Highly recommended for the photos alone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It contains an essential pearl of wisdom
*by P***R on August 12, 2022*

I recently bought 3 books on this subject, downloaded another, and I have a vast collection of downloaded web sites and videos. downloaded videos: these CGB video guys are like your weird uncle who lives on a long dirt road on a mountain. way too many weird idiosyncrasies. web sites: written by the same weird uncles. This book, and a web page found at The Art Of Manliness web site, are the only two sources that provide this essential pearl of information: You want the neck to be level with the top of the box. to achieve this goal you must notch out a portion of the neck as deep as the lid, the length of the lid, starting and ending exactly where the lid starts and ends. Then you must cut a second recess inside this "lid recess" about 3/16" / 4 mm in from each end of the lid recess, , about 1/8" / 3 mm deep, to give the lid room to vibrate. Some books show pictures but do not point this out. Some books mention the lid recess but do not describe it. This is the one book that both tells you and shows you this essential information. In my hardly humble opinion this fact alone makes this book essential reading for a potential CGB builder.
