Books for making stuff predominantly by hand

[EdK]

Hey - I'm looking to get some books on making furniture/cabinetmaking but have checked a few in the library and there is alot of talk and pics of tablesaws and the like... being a ludite I'm more interested in hand focussed books - perhaps this is unimportant and I can just substitute processes.

At any rate I'm after some books more focussed on hand making and design.

I've pencilled in the following on my amazon wish list :

Krenov - Fine Art of Cabinetmaking
Joyce - The technique of furniture making

(and Makinson - Green & Greene : the passion and the legacy : simple cos I came across them and they seem interesting).

Any other recommendations ?

I've bought this one already for DIY projects like making stairs etc :
Porter & Tooke - Carpentry & Joinery v3

I've read this one and liked it:
Hand Tool Essentials - by Woodworking Magazine (Schwartz etc)

Additionally I'm after a couple of good books on making kitchens. I am seriously considering this as I think it will be a good learning curve. So far it is nothing much more than a rough idea to have a non-fitted kitchen (ie dressers and moveable units).

I've found a Shaker type book in the library and liked the sections in the 'Workbench book' by Scott Landis relating to Shakers and their construction. Any amazon shaker type recommendations for kitchen building ?

Thanks for any help !
Ed
