1In spite of this book being about Canon lenses, it is an excellent resource for lens construction and specification just in general terms.  236 pgs, Gorgeous photography.

2 This is THE book to read in order to understand finishes. Shellac, varnish, oils, paints, you name it – this book will make you feel that you master the lexicon of finishes in the world (at least up to 2005 technology). It’s a MUST READ for wood refinishers IMO – at least newer ones …

3 This isn’t something you “read”, of course, at least not sequentially, but it can consume a lot of your time if you are into such things …
