Desks (Projects Book) Review

I bought this book because I wanted to build the laptop computer table. I am astounded by the glaring errors in the "plans" for this table. I haven't yet finished building the table but have already encountered six errors in the plans.
The text is misleading and in some parts downright wrong. In many cases, you are left to figure out your own dimensions.
Do not cut anything based solely on the cut lists in this book. The best advice I could give you is to use the plans in this book as a guide - NOTHING MORE!
Make your own drawings and double - triple check the dimensions before you cut a single board.
Coming from Taunton Press - the publishers of Fine Woodworking magazine, I would have expected meticulous attention to detail in this book. Unfortunately, fine woodworkers do not necessarily make fine writers.
