Great little resource. If you're already doing these kinds of finishes, it's really all you'll need. For the rest of us, it's gives a thorough overview of what kinds of things are possible, with instructions. The instructions aren't in great detail, so if you need a lot of hand-holding, this is not the place. Fun to look at and dream about. I like the absence of the kinds of room & furniture pictures that you usually see in painting books. Just the facts, ma'am.
