Contracting, Timber Framing, and Computer Book Reviews

Well, I've been waiting a while, and it looks as though my husband isn't going to find time to write the reviews any time soon.  However, he gave me a list of books that he recommends.  Here it is!  Just click on the title or the picture of the book and that will take you to Amazon.com where there might be a review or two for you to read!
