Yes, a very good book.  I downloaded it a few years back.  It
certainly puts the lie to the idea that amateur woodworking starts
with the tailed apprentice.  I pick up books like this when I
find them -- probably have a dozen or so.  "It's Fun to Make It
Yourself" is another.  (That one has a photo of Maxfield Parrish
at his work bench.)
