	These aren't your typical woodworking books. You won't learn how to make anything from them, mostly. Some are rather philosophical reflections on living the life of a craftsman and the value of what's now called a maker culture. Others illuminate the business side of being a professional woodworker. By and large, if you want to do that for a living, marry well. No one I have read about met, or spoken to is "rich". In fact, I am pretty certain I make more in IT than anyone on this list. Still, if it's your passion, reading these will either change your mind or give you some useful insights.		These aren't your typical woodworking books.
