The Table Saw Book, by Kelly Mehler

This book will tell you more about table saws than you knew you wanted to know. But it is more of an entry level, beginner's guide than a long-term useful reference for a hobbyist woodworker. And the author's fascination with European saws is annoying: most folks in the target demographic for this book are not eager to spend $5,000 on a European saw.

One good takeaway though: a saw with a riving blade is better than one without, all things considered.
