Anecdotes and drawings." ; "In true Yankee cracker-barrel style, George Grotz offers practical information to everybody about the care, repair and refinishing of furniture--fine or otherwise. Organized in encyclopedic form, divided into major divisions such as stains, finishes or furniture periods. Under these headings are specific entries in alphabetical order. Each chapter is interspersed with anecdotes and Mr. Grotz's personal experience in the business.Offers short cuts and professional secrets, some so amazingly easy it is hard to believe that the amateur craftsman is not yet aware of them. Besides being an authority on furniture refinishing, George Grotz is something of a New England character. After attending a school of journalism, he assaulted Madison Avenue. The encounter ended in deadlock--too many geniuses. On a subsequent visit to an infamous Uncle who was running a refinishing shop in Vermont, Mr. Grotz was convinced that if he didn't know what to do, Vermont was the place to do it. Thus he joined other generations of his family who have set up housekeeping in abandoned old places in Vermont laughingly referred to as old family homesteads." ; over 90 illustrations by the author ; FINE/VG.
