A practical guide to picture framing for the beginner, this book explains every step in the framing process: choosing the mouldings, cutting the wood and the glass, making the mount, assembling and finishing the frame, and hanging the picture. It includes a list of preventive measures to avoid mistakes, and a list of remedies for basic framing errors. The author, a professional picture framer, advises on a wide range of woods, which can be used with different finishes. Construction methods for many different types of picture frame are given, and there is advice on choosing a frame which will complement your home decor, restoring old frames, and developing your picture framing skills into a paying hobby. No specialist equipment is required, the techniques described assume little or no experience on the part of the reader, and unrealistic standards of workmanship are not expected.

From Booklist:
Over the past decade, the number of do-it-yourself framers--those offering space, precut materials, and advice--has proliferated. Yet, in comparison with what discount do-it-for-you mounters charge, the savings are really minimal. Those handy enough with a saw and mitre box, aesthetic enough to select appropriate mats and frames, and smart enough to recognize the worth of restoration will profit by Britisher Stokes' instructions. She includes a wealth of samples and black-and-white drawings illustrating different processes. All possible framing subjects are covered, from styles and preparations to finishes and conservation. But the step-by-step photographs somehow rely too much on the text for explanation; to be geared to true beginners, the directions should have been given in fewer words, with more pictures. Barbara Jacobs
From Library Journal:
Doing one's own picture framing can be an inexpensive alternative to expensive commercial framing jobs. Stokes's manual is a well-illustrated guide to framing materials and techniques, including frame construction, restoration, and conservation framing. It is not as extensive in coverage as Robert Cunning's The Encyclopedia of Picture Framing by (LJ 6/1/93), but it is a good source for the beginning framer.
