Easily Followed - Practical Information,
By Clarke Green "CAG" (Kennett Square, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Veneering: A Complete Course (Paperback)
A perfect starting point for anyone interested in adding veneering to their arsenal of woodworking skills. The author gives veneer, marquetry, parquetry and repair a complete treatment without any clutter of impractical information. I read a review of this book in a major woodworking magazine that took points off for the quality of the work pictured in the book. I think the reviewer missed the fact that the work shown was unfinished and in most cases not even glued down.

Very good book on veneering,
By Bernie Bernbaum (Villa Park, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Veneering: A Complete Course (Paperback)
This is a good book on veneering. Hosker starts with the basics and takes you step by step through the veneering process. In addition to instructions on laying standard veneer, Hosker also attempts to cover parquetry and marquetry.
In fact, this is a weakness of the book - it attmpts to cover everything, which means that the coverage is not as detailed as the reader might like. Additionally, Hosker's focus is on England - the English marquetry society and English suppliers of veneer and supplies - so the book loses some of its value to American readers. Hosker has another book out titled "Veneering Handbook" which appears to be a predecessor to this book. The information in Veneering Handbook is all contained in this book "Veneering: A Complete Course" so don't buy the other book. A couple of other recommended books on Veneering are "The Marquetry Course" by Jack Metcalf and John Apps, and "The Complete Manual of Wood Veneering" by William A Lincoln. The latter book is a really complete treatment of veneering but it only has black and white pictures.

Recommended,
By Hans van Stelle (Amsterdam Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Veneering: A Complete Course (Paperback)
Containing about 118 high-quality colour photo's and 116 crystal clear drawings, a great layout and good paragraphing, this book is very informative but also much fun to read. Many issues are addressed and explained in great detail. I can only recommend it.
