I purchased a book in the early 90’s about building your own frameless/faceless, european style kitchen cabinets. It was high quality, glossy paperback about 9×12-ish. I don’t remember the author or the title, so I am hoping this rings a bell for someone. I believe I saw an add in this magazine, and that’s how I learned about it. I used it to build cabinets back then but have since parted company with it. I would like to use it again and get my hands on a copy. I appreciate any help finding it.
The system described in the book used birch plywood S2S with edge banding of hardwood. When you applied the hardwood edging, it stood proud of the plywood surface until you used a router to trim it flush. This resulted in modern solid looking cases, drawer faces, and doors. Cabinets were built as free-standing boxes and then installed on a base or attached/hung from the wall. Ring any bells?
Thanks for your attention.

I found it! Great book. Making Kitchen Cabinets: A Foolproof System for the Home Workshop by Paul Levine, 1988.

On furher consideration, I might have confused Fine Woodworking with Fine Homebuilding.
