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.
