    Cabinets, as Coleman (Do-It-Yourself Home Improvement) shows, are not just for kitchens. She begins with a beautiful portfolio of examples; lumber and material choices are followed by how to plan and lay out projects like traditional kitchen cabinetry as well as more unique and inspired projects, e.g., a window seat with built-in shelves and storage and a towel tower in the bath. The instructions are clear and comprehensive, and the projects are impressive. A fine choice for public libraries.
