This slim hardbound book preserves a body of trade knowledge that nearly vanished: how working joiners built doors and windows by hand, written by an anonymous craftsman who did th e work daily. Lost Art Press rescued it from obscurity and returned it to print for builders who still want to make these things themselves. Every timber frame eventually needs doors and windows worthy of it. This is the manual for building them the way the frame deserves.
