The router, for its simple design, is one of the most versatile tools you can own. You can shape decorative profiles, cut grooves, flush-trim, raise panels, and cut almost any joint.
In the Complete Illustrated Guide to Routers, you'll learn how to unleash this versatility by choosing the appropriate bit, and guiding the cut in the proper manner. You'll also learn that while a multitude of bits are available, a few essential bits will enable you to accomplish many of your routing tasks.
More than 800 photo and drawings show you how to use and care for your router and how to get the most from it. In addition to mastering the use of your router, you'll also learn about router tables, and how to make one that works perfectly in your shop.

I consider myself a novice woodworker. I have built a few cabinets, can create a reasonable looking mortise joint, but wanted to improve my skill set a bit. I have used a router for a number of years, and wanted to learn some of the finer points of using it for more advanced woodworking projects.=== The Good Stuff ===
* The photographs are first rate. They are well lit, and taken from an angle that you can see what is actually going on.
* Somewhere in a set of instructions, I came across a direction to make a "climb cut". I had no idea what one was, and found a definition in this book. Turns out it is a cut made in the same direction as the router rotation (opposite of what you normally do).
* The book is a marvelous guide for seeing what is possible with a router. Sometimes that is half the battle- if I know something is possible, I can often work out how to do it. Since woodworking is a hobby, designed to fill up leisure time, I don't mind experimenting.
=== The Not-So-Good Stuff===
* It is just about impossible to "read" this book. The text is made up of short sentences, with constant references to illustrations.
* There is no way to learn how to specifically do anything from this book. For example, the section on mortise and tenon joints gives the following instructions (somewhat paraphrased, but not much). "Use a spiral bit. measure and mark the mortise location, then secure the work and jig with clamps. Set the depth. Position the router guide against the jig, and plunge the router and feed.." That's it. No details on what the jig might look like, how to set the depth, how to place the joint. If you can make a mortise joint from those instructions, you don't need a router book.
===Conclusion===
An excellent overview of router use, types of routers, and common accessories. Good photographs to show you wort of how things looks and work. Impossible to actually find any step-by-step instructions in the book. For what I wanted, a different book would have better served my needs.

Taunton Complete Illustrated Guide to Routers eBook Lonnie Bird Reviews
As a beginning woodworker, this is a great book covering all aspects of the Router. The bits (no pun intended) and pieces Ive read online and through all come together in this book. The pictures are very clear and informative. The suggestions and recommendations all make good sense. For $16ish, a very good buy imho.
The book is very nicely illustrated, but the descriptions are disappointing and not useful. They are too advanced for the beginner with lots of undefined and unexplained terms on one hand, but too basic for the experienced woodworker.
Simple to read large words with pictures. So far I am half way through the read. There are a few hints to better your routing experience. The book came about a month and a half after I ordered it. I didnt have time to wait for the book . I delved straight into my new router and figured it out myself. That might help me understand the book more too.
Searching for quick answers, this book is the ticket. All close-up color photos, very well written and organized. Covers choosing routers and accessories, tools, bits, building vs buying a router table, and many other things associated with routers and tables. Very good 3-D illustrations as well as color closeups.
If you are new to routers, you need this book. I know it has been a good aid to me. If you intend to do fine woodworking your routers will be your friends or despised enemies. You therefore need to get it right. You must understand what the routers can do (which is amazing!) and how important it is to use them safely and wisely. As a former rookie woodworker transitioning through novice status and aspiring to be considered and intermediate I must say I have appreciated this book time and time again.
Taunton's Complete Illustrated Guide to Routers by Lonnie Bird is one of three used router books I recently purchased via . This book presents a decent introduction to routers and has a good section on router bits. Section three gets into router tables and, unfortunately, the rest of the book is about what you can do with router table. Even the one non-table related jig, an edge guide, uses a router table to construct. For me there is a tremendous gap between section two on router bits and section three on router tables. The message seems to be that a router without a table is useless and not worth discussing. A much better selection at the same used price ($5.99 including shipping) is the American Woodworker book Woodworking With The Router by Bill Hylton and Fred Matlack.
Great book, with a lot of nice pictures. This is a basic boo, for someone who is new to using routers, such as myself. The topics covered are not in depth, but more of an overview, that should prompt more detailed investigation and study. The book is printed on heavy paper, and the pictures and illustrations are done well. They are clear and show the idea being presented well. The binding precludes laying the book down flat on a table, and therefore it cannot be laid on a table to read it, without breaking the binding. I don't think that it is an issue, since this is not a reference book, and something to be read at your leisure, and not as a reference in the work shop. For someone who has just acquired their first router, or is contemplating buying one, this book may help you decide if you really need a router or not, and walk you through the preliminary steps on how to safely and effectively use your Router
