Product Description:
This volume demonstrates how easy it can be to mat, mount and frame art on paper and cloth, as well as three-dimensional objects.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Logan knows what you need and explains it clearly
Expertly written in easy-to-understand language. Well organized chapters in a common-sense sequence. Many illustrative photographs positioned with descriptive text. 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. To my surprise, it included a CD that enhanced what I learned in the book. ... Read More
Rating:  - Mostly about the Frame
Lots of information of good information on the frame, variations on the frame, building the frame, etc. 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. Overall a decent book but not quite great unless you are more interested in builing your own frames.
Rating: - Just what I needed
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.

Rating: - If your a beginner...
If your a beginner then I think you'll like this book. 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. Written very clearly with many pictures or illustrations.
Rating: - Adding some more body
After reading the many reviews I purchased the book. I found it worth the money I spent as it reviewed most topics with Matting, Mounting and somewhat a little short on the framing. 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.
