Power Tools as a Pastime

the long version

... so I said to the publishers I am not going to write a heavy, stuffy technical-language book on power tools—I am going to write it so that it is easy to read and to understand. In the writing I shall treat the subject as it appeals to me, be- cause power tools are very good friends of mine and this is going to be a friendly and helpful book. This is clearly written in understandable language; it is a thorough, uncomplicated book on a subject of major-do-it- yourself importance. It is mainly intended for the inexpert power tooler, or would-be owner of power tools, but the ex- pert power tool enthusiast will also find much in it of interest and value.
