5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, 14 Jul 2006
This little book is one of those gems that come along from time to time.

Well written and illustrated you can just dip in to find the information you need. The sections on surface treatments are very good and pass on many useful tips that aren't always found in weightier and more worthy books.

It is also excellent value for money.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem of a book for beginners, 6 Jul 2008
By B. Morley "Bad Betty" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've always been interested in furniture restoration since as a child helping my dad and was looking for a book which concentrated on restoring wood finished.

This book is fantastic - it has a lovely tone and clearly explains (with helpful pictures) the basics of furniture restoration. It has individual sections for surfaces, stripping, varnishes, stains and french polish to name a few.

It's given me the confidence and basic expertise to start my own project of restoring a set of chairs.

p.s. Don't be put off by the dodgy looking picture in amazon - this is a new book first written 1997 with most recent reprint 2002
