This review is from: Framing Photography (Library of Professional Picture Framing, Volume 6) (Paperback)

Very disappointing. Not a "How To" book with practical advice. Talks about the history of photo framing and about modern day theory of photo framing. Save your money, there's got to be a better book on photo framing out there.

As a professional picture framer this book is invaluable. It has every kind of photograph that I have ever heard of and then some. I am sure I will be able to handle and frame any photograph that crosses my counter. This book is a real find!

Mr. Lamb is a professional who offers valuable information on how to identify, handle and frame all types of photographic prints. We have a copy in our research library that we use. This is not a cookie-cutter how-to book, but one that helps you learn to identify what you're working with and how to treat it so it ages as gently as possible.
