What people say:
"A
careful and sensible manual for the would-be upholsterer,
with line drawings of works in progress, and detailed instructions
for the use of hand- and machine-operated tools. A four-page,
double-columned glossary of upholstering terms...is included, and an
excellent index concludes the book....Primarily a how-to-do-it
book...but its reference value should not be overlooked."
