How many books?

>Greetings to all,
How many books did Tage Frid write? I just picked up his joinery book and shaping/veneering/finishing book, bound as one text from Lee Valley. Is there more, aside from articles in FWW?
Thanks,
Steve Kubien

>Good question. Apparently 3, 2 of which have been combined into one book, the third is furniture making. He also made at least one video.

>Steven, try to find the third book in the library before you purchase it.
I found the first two books very good and interesting, but the third book on furniture design/making was "less good".
Thanks for the tip

>The third book is just the thing if you want to replicate mid-'80 furniture from Scan - very applicable if you like Scandinavian Modern or IKEA stuff.
The Design Books were compilations from various woodworkers, grouped by type of work.. Frid may have editted, but not something I'd consider to be a Tage Frid book. Some nice design ideas, but it's amazing how dated some of the furniture looks - particularly the California Roundover stuff.
