2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, July 11, 2001
By A Customer
The title is misleading. This is a book about matting with two paragraphs about framing. I expected to learn how to build frames not how to buy them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Step-By-Step Frame It Yourself, May 3, 2000
By Paul Kish (California) - See all my reviews
This beautiful book is an inspirational addition to any artist's or framer's library. The strength of this book is in the great color photos, and in the establishment of procedure.

However, don't look for lots of tips and professional "secrets". This is a slim, basics-only kind of book that shows and teaches, well, the basics, and does it extraordinarily well.

Yes, its a small little book. But it has a wealth of information. I have several other more advanced and lengthier tomes on framing. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book with many good pictures...
I'm new at matting and I found this book (along with one other) to be my two most referenced books on the topic. Great pictures!

5.0 out of 5 stars Frame It Yourself: Matting & Framing Step-By-Step
A great "basics" book. For the non-pro who just wants to be creative and save money by doing it yourself, it's excellent.
