Cabinet making book

I use Greg Paolini’s Kitchen Cabinets Made Simple.
I also attended his class which was excellent.
 
I have Gregs books and have attended his classes as well and highly recommend them. He has a comprehensive video on UTube that gives concise info and reviews various ways of completing the same task. I love Greg’s teaching style

I have Bob Langs"The Complete Kitchen CAbinetmaker.
It's a great book that covers soup to nuts cabinet building and includes both frameless and framed methods.
He assumes that you have some of the basic skills needed so it's not a 'Kindergarten' level, but it's also easy enough for a cabinet noob like me to absorb.

I'm still 'practicing' and have learned quite a bit.  The book is great because it points out steps or decisions that I might overlook because my lack of experience.
Definitely complete as claimed in the title.
 
When I first started out, I had acquired literally over 100 woodworking books including many kitchen cabinets/ vanity books.  I donated all of them except for one standout that was a game changer:  Jim Tolpin: Building Tradional Kitchen Cabinets
It opened my eyes to methods like a "no-measure" method of building using story sticks/poles.  There are also loads of great jigs and thought processes that would have never occurred to me.  I still reference it to this day.
 
Bob Lang's book is great.  It paid for itself many times over when I did my kitchen.  The most important aspect is planning, and the book discusses it in good detail.
