This is a legitimate deal. The free book has a few pages with ads telling you to buy a complete copy but you still get a lot of good information as a free download.
It truly costs you nothing to look. The books are pretty cheap to buy.
Many of them are from a Library of Congress program.
Don't have any connection with these folks. Just like good, free stuff especially books.

This book
"Woodwork Joints: How they are Set Out, How Made and Where Used", by
William Fairham
is also available (all the time) at gutenberg.org. One of these day's
I'll probably order a hard copy because it's not the sort of book I want
to read online. I happen to have Terrie Noll's, "The Joint Book"
(because I found a copy really cheap at Half-Price Books), but I don't
think they are comparable. The latter has lots of nice diagrams, but it
lacks the air of antiquity of Fairham's book. That said, I think I
would recommend both of them to the interested reader. As has been
mentioned, book knowledge tends to go quite a bit deeper than magazine
knowledge, and these books make the case in spades... That said, FWW
made me an offer I couldn't resist--I just had to be a non-subscriber
for about a year and a half before they offered it ($21, instead of $35).
