This fellow is pragmatic, and has good advice for beginning to intermediate
finishers.

The other recommendations I saw were also excellent.

Ditto, I'll also add Jewett's 2004 book:
<http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1561585920/qid=1105749018/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/002-4713787-2932013?v=glance&s=books&n=507846>
I have both, and give the slight nod to Jewitt for updated
information, especially about water base materials.

I liked Bob Flexner's book _Understanding Wood Finishing_.

In this order:
"Hand-Applied Finishes" by Jeff Jewitt. (best all-around)
"Understanding Wood Finishing" by Bob Flexner. (best technical)
"Woodfinishing Book" by Michael Dresdner. (worst photography, but
there is a new--titled "New WF Book"--copy out which I haven't seen.)
"Spray Finishing" by Andy Charron (also "waterborne finishes")
I haven't seen Frank Klausz' finishing book, but I know he loves
Waterlox on Cherry and I'm sure the book is a good one.
My suggestion: Get some Waterlox and give it a try. Once you get a
good finish with that, you can experiment with other, more picky
finishes. But this one can't be beat.
