Publisher's Note
'Discovering and Restoring Antique Furniture' is a highly practical illustrated guide to providing essential and detailed information on the most commonly encountered problems in furniture restoration and conservation. All stages are clearly explained and generously illustrated with black and white pictures and colour photographs and line drawings.
Make your home look as if you spend a fortune on antiques--and have a lot of fun doing it. Antique furniture has never been more sought after. As the pieces in best condition change hands at higher and higher prices, the ordinary buyer may have to consider pieces in more rundown condition. You can own gallery-quality antiques at a fraction of the price if you master the three major elements of successful antiquing: discovering the secrets of construction that help you date the furniture, restoring damaged structures and surfaces, and applying the finishing techniques to return the piece to its original luster. Instruction on metalwork and other specialist processes makes it possible to save even the most difficult-to-repair finds. These tips and techniques will help you reach that satisfying moment when the hidden beauty of a lost treasure is finally unveiled by your hands.

Industry reviews
Based on the premise that antiques in poor condition are more affordable for the average person, Bennett presents a guide to identifying authentic antiques and gives instructions for restoring them. He covers the construction methods to look for to determine genuine antiques but leaves out references to style, for which a good furniture book such as Sotheby's Guide to American Antique Furniture (LJ 1/96) is needed. This book's strength lies in its instructions for structural and finish repairs to wood furniture and in details like the explanation of how to duplicate brass fixtures. Amateurs might want to start with the easier approach found in Robert W. Wood's All Thumbs Guide to Fixing Furniture (Tab, 1994), but those interested in more advanced directions will find this book useful.

About B-Logistics

B-Logistics began selling online in 2001 in partnership with several major public library systems that needed help managing large volumes of discarded materials. We chose the seller name Universal Athenaeum (depository of books and other materials for learning) to reflect that partnership, and we’re still proud to offer our services to hundreds of public, academic, school and special libraries all over the US and Canada (as well as a few publishers, retailers and wholesalers). By providing turnkey resale and recycling services of discarded books and media, we help libraries manage a difficult logistical challenge, generate positive PR, and earn funds for resources and programming.

Quality Standards

The books, CDs and DVDs we list for sale come from many sources, including public, academic and school libraries. We evaluate each item we list, and we strive to sell only items that are in GOOD or better condition, items that we would be happy to receive ourselves. You will notice in many cases that the library’s original ownership markings and other stamps, stickers and such are still in place. If you receive an item that is not in the stated condition, please notify us within 14 days of receiving the shipment so we can work out an acceptable resolution.

Great Service to Our Customers

We work hard to earn your confidence, and we want you to be 100% satisfied. When you order from B-Logistics, you’ll get your order fast. Most orders leave our warehouse the same day, and all orders leave our warehouse within two business days. Depending on the ship method you choose, you may have your order in hand the same week you ordered it. Although we’re a high-volume seller, we pride ourselves on offering top-notch service.

Great Service to Our Community

When you buy from B-Logistics, you make the world a better place! B-Logistics strives to be a good corporate citizen in everything we do, and your purchases support our good work. We provide turnkey service to our library and other liquidation partners so they have more time to provide much-needed resources to their patrons. We donate tens of thousands of books each year to non-profit literacy partners who bring books to needy recipients worldwide. In addition, we recycle hundreds of tons of unsalable books each year, providing an environmentally-friendly alternative to dumping books in landfills. Thank you for helping us do so much good with your purchase!
