Editorial Reviews
Daily Telegraph
"A wonderful source book of useful advise - a very comprehensive book."

Review
"This revised and expanded guide offers both step-by-step instruction for furniture and decorative item repair, but at the same time offers history lessons on all aspects of furniture, making it a useful resource for people shopping for furniture as well as those restoring." -- Home & Design "Many how-to-books depend largely on your imagination to pull a project together. Fortunately, that is not the case with this superbly illustrated volume, which can walk you through any repair or restoration. There are 14 chapters that focus on the materials and methods needed to put together glass, bamboo, leather, upholstery, stone, paper and whatever else if falling apart. Just because something is broken doesn't mean you should throw it away. The know-how to fix it is in this book." Country Almanac, Summer 2005


"A how-to book that expertly instructs the reader with explicit instructions and step-by-step diagrams in the skill of restoring and repairing stains, grass matting, glass, textiles, metals, paper and photographs, decorative finishes such as faux marble, and much more. A superbly efficient and practical resource, as useful for conscious homeowners as it is for those seeking to make a living by fixing up broken down appliances, furniture, and personal items. Highly recommended." -- The Midwest Book Review
