I bought it and thought it was one of the better ones I've seen. Some of the written explanations were a little too wordy for me, a real photograph would have done a better job of explaining what he was talking about. I learn by watching others do it more than reading how to do it. I try to explain my tutorials as if others, like me, are visual. I'd like to write a really simple DIY Upholstery guide/book soon.

I saw Matthew Haly's Book of Upholstery on shelves a couple weeks ago. Bought it and it is great so far. Lots of detailed instruction. You need a lot of tools to get started but there are great resources for everything in the book. Projects range from easy to difficult. Its a really nice looking book and the photos and illustrations are easy to follow. Most upholstery books out there, that I have found, are stodgy and seem old-fashioned -like a 80 year old man wrote them or something. This book is young and hip and easy to relate to... here's hoping you get it for Christmas! I recommend it! two thumbs up.

Have you heard about Matthew Haly's Book of Upholstery ... I have it on my Christmas Wish List and was wondering what you thought of it???  Hubby and I share each others tools, although I can see him getting twitchy if he thinks I'm not using them correctly.

I have tool envy!
