We’re going to take news of this promo as a sign that it’s time for us to order more woodworking books. We also ordered a few DVD box sets as there’s a concurrent “buy two get the third free” promo (details), but discussion of that falls beyond the scope of ToolGuyd.
Before ordering from Barnes & Noble, we always compare prices at Amazon. If you’re looking for a new book but don’t know what to get, take a look at our reading list for suggestions.

At first I wasn’t sure how this was tool related, but now I get it.
I would also recommend used books, or the library. I was able to find most of the Black and Decker home improvement series there (plumbing, electric, etc), even the newest updated versions
It’s not entirely tool related, but I figured that if I’m interested in woodworking and craft books, others probably are as well. That, and I assume that if I like a tool or tool-use related sale, others will as well.
You wouldn’t believe how many other semi-related topics almost make it to the ToolGuyd queue.
Library sale shelves and used or small book sellers are great sources for second hand DIY and home improvement books.
I have a few older woodworking textbooks that my uncle gave me, and they include chapters on mechanical/technical drawing. Try finding that in a modern woodworking text!
