This is a fantastic book for the craftsman of miniature furniture and room settings. Suitable for the beginner or experienced modeler, the instructions here lead to stunning finished products. Specialized tools and techniques for working in miniature are covered. The sections on building, modifying and enhancing furniture kits maximizes their usefulness. More elaborate projects scratch built from patterns follow. These include tables, a large breakfront, and an upholstered chair and settee group. Room construction and detailing ideas include floors, walls, ceilings, windows and wiring for dazzling lighting effects. The book concludes with a useful list of sources.

I am a beginner in miniatures and this book has made all the things that I wanted to do seem possible. I can hardly wait to get started on some of the kits I had purchased and put up until my dollhouse was completed. I would recommend it to any person interested in modifying kits or constructing from scratch.

A lot of details on the "how to." Although many photos, there is a great deal of written instruction so one must be good with following the written word, as opposed to "show me." Despite that a good buy and lot of helpful information. Would buy it again.
