CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

PERFECT -
This book is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Perfect condition and rapid delivery. Excellent service.

Good to have.. -
This is a goog book to have.For amateurs like me this book breaks methods down to a step by step illustrated and recipes for paint effects and faux finishes. Worth it.

Bookcase Item -
This is a good general reference book. I am glad that I purchased it, but it isn't my faux painting Bible. However, if you are looking for many ideas, inspirations and photos, this is a good item for you. I am a seasoned amateur and for me, I need specific product references to really make the recipes work. This is more general. The bottom line; it is a nice book to own.

Great Information for an Amateur Painter -
This book has many finishes and the instructions to complete each. For an experienced painter of faux finishes, this is too simple, but for a person just getting started ion doing this kind of work, this is a good instruction book.

Excellent Book an Excellent service -
this book arrived in wonderful condition in the specified days.It has proved to have all the receipes I required an more.
