 Outdated. February 8, 2007

Feel a bit fed up about this purchase. The photographs are mostly in black and white and hopelessly outdated. There are a stupid number of useless photgraphs, that don't seem to have a point (making it confusing and time consuming to wade through) all are from the 1970's, and they're so dark and unclear, it's difficult to see what it is that you're meant to be looking at.
I am pretty sure (from researching on the net) that there are tools and equipment used for framing now that don't get a mention in this book....which is a bit of a shame for me because it was these things that I was looking to find out more about. If you're serious about attempting framing yourself, I think you're better off with something more recent or going on a course. I am utterly uninspired.
 I'm so glad I found this one. March 14, 2001

This is a very comprehensive book. It has more ways to join a frame than I knew which equips you with being able to deal with all kinds and sizes of jobs. Similarly comprehenive in matting and mounting and many other techniques, how to deal with a wide variety of things to frame including fabrics and objects. This isn't just a few ideas put toghether to sell a book, this is a life experience given away. A very good and useful book.
This book contains everything I wanted to know! August 11, 1999

Ken Oberrecht not only gives good clear instructions on the how to's of framing but also what tools and supplies you will need and where to find them. I hit gold of the first try. Thanks Mr. Oberrecht and Amazon.com. Grace M.
Great resource for a beginner. January 25, 1999

This book gives the reader a lot of good information so they can start framing their own art work with little or no prior experience. The author gives lots of specific examples of tools and materials. He tells you where to get them and which ones work the best.
