We here at Alto's EZ Mat Board Cutters Inc love this book. It is the one book you need if you are interested in cutting your own mats and making your own picture frames.

From the back cover - "Framing a photograph, oil painting, watercolor, poster, calendar page, greeting card, or other artwork can be easy and inexpensive with this comprehensive guide to mounting, matting, and framing. Revises and updated from the popular first edition, Home Book of Picture Framing contains all of the information home owners need to prepare their first project, provides instructions for framing three-dimensional objects, and includes new sections on the most recent trends in framing — using power tools, framing needlework, and creating hinged and easel-style frames."

KENN OBERRECHT is the author of several woodworking and photography books, including the first edition of the Home Book of Picture Framing. He lives in North Bend, Oregon.
