Review: Joiner, Student, Wood Working Enthusiast, this is the ONLY book you will ever need on Stair Joinery. - After purchasing Simply Stairs some time ago, I have now used Mark's expert guidance provided in this well written and clearly illustrated book on producing three different sets of stairs. Being from the bespoke cabinet side of the industry it has been many years since I last made a staircase (15 years ago at college during my apprenticeship). After being asked to construct a fairly simple flight of stairs for a regular client, I decided I needed to brush up on my knowledge and so dug out my old college books. After hearing about "Simply Stairs" on twitter from other joiners I decided to purchase myself a copy, all I can say is I don't know why I didn't buy it sooner. There isn't a better book which covers so much on a subject which is often avoided by people for being "complicated or daunting", myself included. Mark simplifies the process and terminology and takes you through the numerous scenarios of stair construction and layouts. From measuring up & conforming to building regs, to marking/setting out, gluing up and then installation. It is the complete package! Finally all I can say is a big thank you to Mark, I now feel confident in my ability to construct staircases. I can't begin to imagine how difficult it must be to process such a complicated subject and yet put it down on paper in a step by step guide in such a clear and precise manner that no other book has managed to do! (On a note to Mark, perhaps you could follow this up with a book on Sash Window and Period Joinery) :-)
Review: Excellent in-depth staircase book - I’m a firm believer in “you can learn something new every day” and this book has proven that, it’s a great read I’ve learnt quite a lot from just looking at the pictures but it covers everything you need to know about staircases from angles to building regs and different tools and materials it really is a great book. I would definitely recommend it to anyone learning all things stairs 👍🏻

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Experienced building company owner says "Don't fit a staircase without it! "
*by K***D on 12 April 2016*

I run a successful building company in Harrow on the Hill North-West London, called London Building Renovation.. I have an extensive library of building books. I purchased Mark's book on stairs, despite having fitted a sizeable number of staircases over the last 25 odd years. I felt my knowledge was not as good as it could be and thought I would buy the book to improve. With very happy consequences! On a recent project I had to design three staircases to a very awkward conversion from a Victorian two-storey church building to a four-storey domestic building. Without Mark's book can honestly say I would have cost myself thousands of pounds in wasted time. Perhaps, even incorrectly designed 3 tricky staircases. With Mark's book I was able to get around design issues and come up with a better, unique staircase for each floor. I was also able to have a much more informed discussion with my joinery company. The end result is that the client is exceptionally happy and impressed with all my work on the job. My knowledge has grown from when it was more than adequate for my business. I have been able to educate carpenters who work for me and I have used the book to give Toolbox talks to my men. As an added bonus I was overjoyed when I contacted Mark via Twitter to ask a particular question about a difficult dogleg staircase and he replied back almost immediately. I got some very practical help!. If you are interested in construction, you are working in joinery, you are keen capable DIY or self build enthusiast, this book must take pride of place in your joinery section. I cannot believe anyone would not learn something from it. It is clear, concise and well illustrated. A must have.
