After reading “Wood Flooring” by Charles Peterson I have one word to describe it “WOW”.
I am in the wood flooring industry in both sales and distribution and found this book to be extremly helpful and comprehensive. Very easy to understand and follow, even for those not too familiar with the industry. Lots of great pictures and diagrams to go with this easy read. A great tool for anyone interested in wood flooring.

This book is perfect for people like me who do a LOT of research before commencing a new project. I like to know everything I can possibly know before I start something, and this book gives a lot of great information about things that other books on wood flooring wouldn’t, such as wood species and measuring moisture content. It also has lots of great pictures and detailed procedural steps. I don’t like anything to be left to the imagination…or just assumed that the reader already knows a certain detail. This book doesn’t do that. You could pick this book up as a complete beginner and be well-versed in wood and wood installation after reading it. Highly recommended.
