Reader Reviews
Waste of money... This book is good only for school projects and absolutely not useful for artists, restorers or woodworkers. Very amateur...Featuring stone age techniques, which can only discourage the follower. Don't give any choice of supplies, don't warn about possible mistakes an failures during the process and do not say how to avoid or fix those mistakes. Anyway... Following this book amateur will only get frustrated: Spend a fortune for supplies and sabotage there treasures... Professionals or semi-professionals - simply don't need it... Businesses which selling supplies and gold leaf offer a seminars and comprehensive guides "how to" for gold leafing. Much more useful... About restoration - still searching for good info...
