Bob, I like all books on routing, and anything on jigs and fixtures (regardless of what type of machinery [table saw, bandsaw, drill press, router, etc])
I guess my favorite would be "Router Projects and Jigs" by Bob and Rick Rosendahl. Hey Mark, do I get POINTS for saying that? LOL

Table Saw Techniqes by Roger W. Cliffe. i have more but i dont have the information with me now, but i will be back with the information for you.

 

[pmspirito]

All woodworking books with lots of color pictures and short captions.

Woodworking with the Router by Hylton and Matlack, and The Router by Bob Rosendahl, are my favorites. Woodnut65

I found the New Router Handbook by the late Patrick Speilman very informative and inspiring during my early routing days. I was given the routing bug by Bob and Rick after seeing a couple of episodes, but then moved to an area that they weren't available. The router handbook shows you the simplicity and potential of router work.

I can't have just one.... I need to get all of them you have mentioned.

Bob N, I have found two nice books at my public library.
501 Best Shop Tips For Woodworkers = Robert Settich
complete book of tips, tricks & techniques = Popular Woodworking
Both books hit on most equipment used in a woodshop. Table saws, planers, jointers, jigsaws, bandsaws, and ROUTERS. Some safety tips too. Nice reading for a beginner like me.
