My hobby is photography, and while I buy frames, I have been cutting mats and putting my photos in store-bought frames for about two years. I found information in this book that was useful and practical -- such as "The Sandwich Fit" technique on page 112 -- which can save someone a lot of time and aggravation. Clearly the author knows the practical problems involved in the process of matting art and getting it into a frame -- and makes helpful suggestions for doing so. Photos in the book helped me understand the information the author provided to the reader.

We do all of the matting work ourselves and after going thru the book, I realize quite a few mistakes we have made. It is a very thick book, easy to understand and we hope to correct our work on the pieces that we value. For us, it was money well spent.

I am a photographer looking to better understand how to matte and frame (though I'm not interested in building my own frames). I found this book extremely helpful and informative, without being cryptic or outdated. Very modern.

I absolutely love this Guide. I have not tried all the projects because I am just starting to frame some of my own photos, but the book is excellent with great instructions and illustrations.

I HAVE ONE HALL WALL I USE FOR GRANDDAUGHTERS RECITAL PICTURES. AND HAVING THIS BOOK WITH SO MUCH HELPFUL INFORMATION IS GREAT. I NEVER KNEW HOW TO MAT A PICTURE NOW MY PICTURES REALLY STAND OUT.
