Tons of ideas and information.
This is an awesome old school build a workbench kinda book. From fairly simple to advanced monstrosities. It doesn’t have plans per se but it gives a ton of ideas and things to look for whether you are buying or building a woodworking workbench.

Damaged
Skimming through the book it appears that the content is really good. Unfortunately, it was shipped in a padded paper envelope, so the corners are all bent and banged up. Even though I bought it new, it looks used and abused.

Good summary of workbench types and assembly techniques.
This and two other workbench books helped me decide what kind of workbench I wanted. Unfortunately, high end benches are very expensive. Building one is challenging. The book is helpful in understanding the techniques that are required.
