Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - ok, but not as good as I had hoped
The book is outdated and not in color. My 2 biggest complaints. Also, as mentioned earlier the pictures are too poor to make out what the author is trying to show. Furthermore, I'd like to see more pictures and less diluted text. Also the section on fabrics is poor. I haven't finished yet, but I have questions I would like to have answered.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Automotive Upholstery Handbook by Don Taylor
Easy to read. Written as an introduction to motor trimming for apprentices and students. As an enthusiastic amateur, I found the book provided me with enough information to be able to start doing some simple work myself. It also familiarised me with the terms used in the trade. This was particularly handy when selecting material from the ulpholstery supplies shop.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Automotive Upholstery
I found this book very helpful. I wish it would have more detailed and clearer illustrations that are larger type. I recommend this book to help anyone interested in automotive upholstery.
