“Contains individual furniture projects that are clearly illustrated by the author with cross-section diagrams and fabric-cutting layouts. An excellent textbook for an advanced upholstery class and a cost-effective purchase.”—Library Journal. “Like a visit to a top upholsterer’s workshop....A much needed resource for those reupholstering antique furniture.”—Fine Woodworking.

James (upholstery, Buckinghamshire Coll.) presents a sequel to his Upholstery: A Complete Course (GMC, 1993) in which he provides the "practising furniture upholsterer" with information on making decorative trims, the cost and safety requirements of projects, creating the well-stocked workroom, and upholstery schools and trade associations. (Unfortunately for North American readers, all are U.K. sources.) The latter portion of the book contains individual furniture projects that are clearly illustrated by the author with cross-section diagrams and fabric-cutting layouts. An excellent textbook for an advanced upholstery class and a cost-effective purchase where interest warrants.
