This smaller size book with black and white photos takes on the challenge of giving an exacting explanation of the handcutting of dovetail joints. Ian Kirby describes the various dovetail joints (through, single/double lap, secret mitre), and then explains how for each to best mark out tails (first) then pins, remove the bulk of the waste, saw, chisel and clean up joints for best results. With numerous photos and diagrams throughout this is a step-by-step book that you can take into the workshop and teach yourself with.
