Summary: A conversation piece
Comment: As a stairbuilder and professional woodworker, I really would love to own a copy of the original English edition. This re-print is a service to all of us who enjoy old or antique books on the traditional crafts. The illustrations are fascinating

Granted, any book attempting to explore tangent handrailing is an advanced text written for the architectural woodworker with some grounding in stairbuilding, however, if you are intent on learning classical handrailing in solid wood, Mowatt is pretty useless. George DiChristina's "A Simplified Guide to Custom Stairbuilding and Handrailing" is a far better choice. It is well organized, and about as clear a manual for the craft as one could hope for.

Summary: Table of contents don't say it all
Comment: This is a very old book, written in 1900. It's table of contents list circular staircases as one of the items discussed in the book. However, it gives you virtually no info on constructing such a staircase.
