Am presently undertaking an HND course in Furniture Restoration and this book also played a very large part in helping me complete my last assignment. Like John Cloag's other books, it packed with scarce and very useful information. Both of the books by John Cloag which I purchased through Alibris, have been shared with my course colleages and ALIBRIS has been mentioned on several occasions, in fact, another member of the course has also purchased several books from this source and, like myself, is extremely happy with her purchases.
