This is the best book I have ever found on wood finishes. Makes comparisons between various methods and describes the pitfalls involved in many techniques. I cannot claim to have used all that many of the finishes but I have used a lot of the information.

It is an American book but not brand specific in its recommendations. I see it on the Amazon.com.uk site and the people who commented on it seem to rate it highly.
