Great reference on traditional techniques
Like the other book from the same author, this one is a great reference for traditional techniques. It provides a clear insight on how to do very high quality upholstery. It may not be the reference you need on practical and modern techniques required in today's workshops to compete. It is a great reference anyway.

An interesting and informative survey of the art of upholste
If you're looking for a step-by-step guide or a source-book, look elsewhere. This book is a general introduction to the history of upholstery, with general descriptions of traditional and modern upholstery techniques, of more value to those considering upholstering as a vocation or to the serious hobbyist than to the casual do-it-yourselfer.

A thorough education in upholstery.,

This review is from: Upholstery: A Complete Course: Revised Edition (Paperback)
I picked up this book and upholstered my sofa. True to the title, this really is a complete course. I am a Prop Professional and have done both quick & dirty, and "real" upholstery. Any problem I've come up against or question I've had, this book addresses. It also has a lot of great information about setting up workspace. If you want to learn upholstery or learn it better, this is what you need.

This book is a very detailed account of upholstery that covers everything from tools, techniques, and even period replicating designs to assit you in keeping the period details of furniture accurate. I would definately recommend this book as a reference tool for the beginner to the professional!
