I'm what I like to think of as a keen amateur and fixer-of-things and am fairly comfortable with simple painting, refinishing, and the like. This book was not afraid to really dive into the deep end and tackle advanced concepts like channel stuffing, recovering wing and lyre back furniture, diamond tufting and a lot lot more, but in a clear and easy to follow manner that isn't intimidating.
I really love the setup of the book where each design element has its own chapter and you can progress through a project alacart...
It's not often in my experience that a book manages to be a really good tutorial book AND an all purpose encyclopedic reference book at the same time.
I borrowed it from the library and immediately went and purchased my own copy.
Highly recommended
