It's older but the act of upholstering hasn't changed. Only the colors and styles, and with black-and-white photography, you're not easily distracted by what doesn't matter.Sure wish I'd thought to look for a book like this before I started my last upholstering projects (admittedly, before Amazon).This isn't "slipcover in a weekend" stuff. This is deconstruction and total repair / renew, from the springs back up, for most major types of furniture (probably "all," but I can't say I cross-checked). If you're thinking of reupholstering anything and haven't started yet, read this first. If you're halfway through and stuck, read this book. And if you got all the way done and thought it wasn't worth the effort, read the book before you commit to "never again." With this much information on hand, I might just be able to try another couch project...
