Many how-to books have a distinctly clinical feel to them, but this instead is a book that captures the whole point of working with wood in the first place- enjoying the beauty of the process. Joined, A Bench Guide to Furniture Joinery, by Joshua A Klein was published in 2020. Each and every page is filled with beautiful full color photos of the process of joining wood.  Chapters include: the Square Mortise and Tenon, the Round Mortise and Tenon, the Through Dovetail, the Half-blind Dovetail, the Nailed Rabbet, and the Dado.  This is the closest you can get to an in-person class with the author.  What a gift!
