CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
almost basic enough - 
this book was still a little past my ability/equipment level - but it was close - gave me some good ideas for design and technique

How to construct unattractive boxes -
This book will show you in detail how to make unimaginative and unattractive boxes. Although the author says he does, I cannot believe he is able to sell his creations at flea markets.
Perfect for a beginning woodworker -
I am a beginning woodworker. Rightly, I decided to make the plunge in woodworking on boxes. This is a wonderful book. It takes you clearly and easily through every step. I've made every box in the book (except 3), deciding that this is the best way to learn woodworking. I've learned so very much. I'm going to finish the last three. If Mr. Freedman writes another book, I'll be the first to buy it. I just can't praise it enough (BTW: This is a genuine review. Not that others are not.)
Publishing Errors -
I had to return this book because it was printed with page out of sequence. I don't know if this was the fault of the author or publisher, regardless it made the book impossible to read. It looked like an interesting book if not for this flaw, and I was sorry to return it.

I found another copy of this book at a locale woodworking store and the pages were out of order in that copy also.

Plans and instructions -
Unlike the Taunton's book, this one has full plans for several decorative boxes, with excellent discussion of how to build them. Some new box builders may prefer this book's method of learning by following an explicit plan for a complete box. The illustrations are clear diagrams and some b-and-w photos, mostly of finished boxes. There are many helpful tips for the tricky parts, such as fitting hinges. A very helpful book.
