Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
This book contains all the basics for the artist or photographer who is interested in doing his or her own framing and mounting. Hyder explains the characteristics of various kinds of mats and frames, and he includes instructions and illustrated examples for using them. Tools, raw materials, and specialized treatments such as fabric-covered mats and gold leafing of frames are also covered. The mounting section includes both wet and dry mounting methods. The author's step-by-step instructions are good and should enable his readers to achieve professional-looking results. There are not many good, well-illustrated books on this topic available, and this one should be welcome in art and crafts collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book, April 6, 2008
Wonderful book on how to mat, do ovals, french and glass mat. Then there is step by steps on how to do moldings and shadow box, platform and easel back. Tons of photos.

1.0 out of 5 stars Book is almost useless, May 9, 2002
By A Customer
This is the worst how-to book I ever read. I thought it would teach me how to mount and frame a lithograph and this book does nothing but confuse the reader. After reading the book, I still don't have a clue on the proper way to frame a lithograph. And this is from a guy who fixes, designs, and builds about anything I ever tried. I need to find another book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide for doing your own framing, June 12, 2009
By Song & story lover (Midwest, USA) - See all my reviews
We decided to get this book as a guide so that we could frame a group of large photographs. The step-by-step instructions were a great help, and it seemed that every detail we needed to know to manage a successful job was covered.

We'd checked out another book at the library that we thought would help us to do this ourselves (framing is costly!), but that book, while very detailed, was confusing to learn from. It lacked the number of photos this book has, and it didn't have much to say about matting.

I'm not sure why the other reviewer found this book lacking. For us, it was just what we needed. The results we gained have given us skills we can build upon, plus a lovely gallery of matted and framed art photographs.

Recommended without hesitation.
