Exquisite inlaid covers, gracefully simple lines and soft curves, glorious woods, intriguing lids, and intricate compartments are the hallmarks of the work of some of the world's best box-making artists. "If you think a box is just a box, you're in for a surprise. The boxes Lydgate details are...handcrafted works that call for such exotic woods as rosewood, purpleheart, satinwood, and Hawaiian koa....Not a lot of board feet are needed for any project and the average woodworker will have the tools to make every project in the book."--Booklist.

Leon Leyson (born Leib Lezjon) was only ten years old when the Nazis invaded Poland and his family was forced to relocate to the Krakow ghetto. With incredible luck, perseverance and grit, Leyson was able to survive the sadism of the Nazis, including that of the demonic Amon Goeth, commandant of Plaszow, the concentration camp outside Krakow. Ultimately, it was the generosity and cunning of one man, a man named Oskar Schindler, who saved Leon Leyson's life, and the lives of his mother, his father, and two of his four siblings, by adding their names to his list of workers in his factory - a list that became world renowned: Schindler's List. This, the only memoir published by a former Schindler's List child, perfectly captures the innocence of a small boy who goes through the unthinkable. Most notable is the lack of rancour, the lack of venom, and the abundance of dignity in Mr Leyson's telling. The Boy on the Wooden Boxis a legacy of hope, a memoir unlike anything you've ever read.
