From Library Journal:

This is a guide intended for the experienced upholsterer who works with antiques and period furniture. Part of the book is devoted to a history of styles of upholstered furniture from the 17th to the 20th centuries so that upholstery restoration may be made as authentic as possible. Sections on equipment, techniques, and projects assume some expertise in order to achieve professional results. Although not as practical for the home craftsperson as a basic guide like Michael Torelli and Ellen Haggerty's Reupholstering for the Home Craftsman (1977), this is an elegant, useful book for the antiques restorer. Recommended for decorative arts collections.

Review:

If you think your sofa is past its best, this excellent guide to do-it-yourself upholstery could give it a new lease of life. Practical, clear advice shows how to put the spring back into tired or lifeless soft furnishings
