Best books for xmas

[NickinMids]

Anyone recommend a good book for xmas. I've got To fell a tree and climber companion the two jephcot ones.  Also got Art and science of rigging and the Gerry Beranek one on general tree work. Also got three of the pamphlet ones from AA.  I'm tempted by one of those Claus Mattheck ones dealing with (I presume) understanding the structure of the tree and the subsequent pruning decisions, but I don't want to waste money if its not gonna help me.  Anyone care to comment.  Thanks

The Ladybird Book of Sheds

[Stuart Phillips]

An Encyclopaedia of Plants in Myth, Legend Magic and Lore by Stuart Phillips.  It won't teach you much, but its interesting to dip into.

Can any one recommend a good book guide to basic timber structure construction, looking to build a timber framed and clad shed /cabin in our small family wood. Basic guide to joints, designs and timber sizes required would be helpful. Got plenty of timber and a Alaskan mill so all sorted there
