Title: good step by step on basics
Product review: This was a little hard to follow in places but I think it is good for the price. The author really tries to guide you step by step through detailed processes. It's true it does not cover the fixing of wood cracks, perhaps because the author may consider it to be major restoration rather than repair. I think it is best on bow rehairing, and on nut, bridge and soundpost repairs. It does touch on seam re-gluing and on fingerboard repair and neck re-set, but very basically. There are some typos and occasionally something is described out of place, such as a rehairing clamp is referred to on p. 9 but not fully described until p. 12.
