Christophe Pourny's 304-page hardcover guide to identifying, restoring and caring for furniture, written by a restorer who works on antiques and period pieces. It covers wood and finish identification, cleaning, repair and refinishing, with a strong emphasis on doing less harm before doing more work. It suits owners of older or secondhand furniture who want to understand a piece before touching it, and beginners who want a reference rather than a project book. Compared with photo-heavy price guides, it is more of a how-to and care manual than a valuation catalog.
