• Understanding Wood Finishing
  A stain/refinishing book by Bob Flexner
  Flexner, who has 20 years of finishing experience and has written for many woodworking magazines, assumes no experience in finishing wood.  He provides comprehensive treatment of the various finishes, application techniques, chemical cautions, and reactions, convincingly overthrowing much of the conventional wisdom about finishing.  His book gives readers a wood finishing consultant available whenever they need it for the price of an hour's time.  Highly recommended.
