Automotive Upholstery Handbook [Paperback] by Don Taylor : This book is absolutely the best place to learn all the details necessary to build seats and cushions. It is written from the automobile enthusiat's standpoint, but almost everything applies to the marine environment as well. Restore, recover and build bench and bucket seats; upholster armrests and door panels; install headliners, carpeting, convertible tops, vinyl roofs, sim-con and landau tops; build motorcycle and boat seats like an expert. Don is a real pro. He has owned and operated upholstery and van-conversion shops and knows all the tricks of the trade. His instructions are clearly written and we particularly like his use of photos as learning aids. You'll love this book and be proud of your finished projects!
