Many illustrative photographs positioned with descriptive text. To my surprise, it included a CD that enhanced what I learned in the book. It really drove home the matting techniques possible with Logan products. Expertly written in easy-to-understand language. Perhaps future books could include the CD as a bonus.

Well organized chapters in a common-sense sequence. Logan helped me fill in missing knowledge on each step from matting, mounting and framing my photographs in a professional manner. Excellent tips to achieve a high standard of work. The quality of the book led me to purchase a Logan Portable 32" mat cutter.

Lots of information of good information on the frame, variations on the frame, building the frame, etc. Overall a decent book but not quite great unless you are more interested in builing your own frames. The mat and mount sections seemed a bit light, but the information was good. I would say the mat and mount section was on the beginner side but framing ran well into the intermediate range.

I have another matting/framing book which I am now getting rid of as this one is covers all that I need. This book was and is just what I needed, it covered everything I was concerned about from sizing, what to consider in colors of the mats, taking out the mystery of materials, what you need and what you don't need. From doing a simple single job to doing multiple displays. Unless you are a professional you will not be sorry for getting this book. I like the author's presentation of why and what to consider when you approach a job, keeping it simple.

If your a beginner then I think you'll like this book. Written very clearly with many pictures or illustrations. I was looking for a book that could explain color and give advice about what size a mat should be. I found it in this book.

After reading the many reviews I purchased the book. Would have given five stars if the discussion on making the framing was a little more discussed.I did purchase the Logan CD on making your own picture frames, promptly returned it as there was more in the book on making picture frames. I found it worth the money I spent as it reviewed most topics with Matting, Mounting and somewhat a little short on the framing.
