Book Reviews of Automotive Upholstery Handbook
Book Review: low quality
Summary: 2 Stars
I was not at all impressed with this book. The pictures are all black and white and of very low quality. The work that's shown in this book is all done on cars from the late 80's and early 90's so don't let the publishing date fool you that it's all new current work. Plus don't let the cover fool you, there is nothing inside that shows how to make cool custom interiors on cool hot rods.
It seems like this guy took a bunch of old photos he had of past work and compiled them into a book. This book is not worth the paper it is printed on.
Book Review: Not worth the money
Summary: 1 Stars
As a classic car restorer, I had hoped this book would get me started on doing and saving money on my own upholstery work. Terribly disappointed. The book is 20 years out of date. Auto upholstery for a long time has been sold as pre-sewn and fitted, as well as molded carpet for the flooring; this book attempts to demonstrate making upholstery from scratch. The black and white pictures are absouletly awful - more black than white. The section on installing a covertible is so bad its funny.
