This book any good?

Practical Design Solutions and Strategies: Key Advice for
Sound Construction from Fine Woodworking (Essentials of
Woodworking)

Anyone have an opinion on how good the above book is for
teaching a woodworker who has a hard time with design? (NO,
I DON'T want to use measured drawings; I just need nudges
for inspiration).

I like the book... it's one that I pull out when I'm puzzling over a design
issue. Note that "design" in this book is from aesthetic or mechanical
perspectives in different sections of the book.

Excellent book. It followed me home from the library one
month and I read it from cover to cover. I bought a copy
a couple months later when I saw it on sale at Hamilton
for several dollars.
