Customer Review: A book for the experienced and beginner alike.
I have a few years experience of doing traditional upholstery. I found this book gave me a fresh insight into upholstery as a very personal art form. The writer really knows how to enthuse the reader with the creative spirit. This book is not some dry and dusty manual on how to do it. This book treats upholstery as a fine art, and encourages experimentation, whilst warning against those things she has found do not work artistically. A good book for the creative artist wanting to express their feeling in some original upholstery. This book is going to make a big difference in my home!
Customer Review: A book that will last for years
This is the first time I have bought a book specifically about upholstery. I was delighted to have a list of relevant books to choose from and selected this one of the basis of disappointing or no reviews for other books in this section, that it was English (UK) rather than English (US) and… the cover looked lurverly, though they do say.. don’t judge a book by …..”. However, this book has not disappointed. I’d say this was a book for the beginner, but it contains enough inspiration to last through the years as you progress through and tackle the series of more and more advanced projects (10 in all, from drop-in seat to Chesterfield). The book begins with a potted history of upholstery, illustrated with examples of furniture in art from the 17C and goes on to describe tools, equipment, materials - all well described. The lovely illustrations and text with which the various stages of upholstery are described are excellent and even I, a complete beginner, found the early stages in the process very familiar and recognisable. The advanced stages are every bit as easy to understand and there are useful lists of suppliers of fabric and tools, and a glossary of terms.Described as a “Practical Guide to Upholstering Traditional Furniture”, it is comprehensive and will serve as a good clear reference, as it’s well written in digestable sections. If I have a critisism it is that, the notes accompanying some the photographs drew my attention away from the text from time to time - but still, that probably says more about me than the book !

Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction (PS3)
Insomniac Games has overhauled its proprietary PS3 engine technology to create the most visceral Ratchet & Clank universe yet, overflowing with exotic creatures and flying vehicles.

The PS3 system’s superior power enables Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction to bring vivid worlds to life with increased draw distances, enhanced lighting and shadowing, and more fluid and exaggerated animations.

Discover an all-new galaxy spanning vast worlds such as a majestic cloud city and a space-age amusement park.

Encounter an entirely new cast of expressive characters (and some old favorites) as well as the introduction of a variety of new alien races and life forms.

Experience a more emotive Ratchet with nearly as many animation joints in his face as PS2 Ratchet had in his entire body. This joint density applies to many of the characters featured in Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, enabling more detailed, personable and expressive characters.

Clank returns as a playable character, and Ratchet will have new enhanced abilities.

Fire a fully stocked arsenal of all-new weapons such as the Plasma Beasts and Tornado Launcher, which uses the Sixaxis controller to direct tornadoes that suck up enemies and whip them around with debris.

Use the Sixaxis controller to maneuver, destroy enemies and solve puzzles.

Upgrade and customize weapons with a new system that provides greater power and flexibility. Players also will have the ability to upgrade Ratchet’s armor.

Utilise Ratchet’s new supply of consumable “on-demand’ combat devices, such as the Groovitron, which causes enemies to dance uncontrollably to ’70s disco hits.

Gadgets gameplay returns as Ratchet and Clank will have more gadgets at their disposal to help them bounce, fly, evade and defy gravity.

Pilot Ratchet’s ship through asteroid fields while trying to destroy enemy fleets in a complete redesign of classic Ratchet & Clank space combat gameplay.

Customer Review: More Clunk than Clank!
I got my latest Ratchet and Clank game for xmas along with my PS3 I was so excited I could hardly wait to play it, but oh what a disappointment it was, within 3 days I`d finished it and I`m now playing it for the forth time hoping Ive missed some major part of the game but alas it seems not! Yes the graphics are fantastic and I do have a 1080p HD tv so that allows the game to play smoothly and keeps up well with the graphics but there seems to be little substance or difficulty involved in playing the game, oh well I look forward to the next installment if there is one!

Customer Review: It doesn’t work
What the reviews here neglect to mention, is that the game was shipped with a major bug. On many machines it fails to load claiming ‘there is insufficient disk space on your machine’. This error is spurious. The manufacturer is aware and advises to either add or delete a block of 500MB for your PS3 Hard disk and it should work. The problem is it doesn’t and the UK hotline for Insomniac hasn’t been answered on the 3 occassions I have rang.

Bottom line is if you want a game which may not work on your PS3 then go ahead. Be aware though, if (as I did) you buy this as a present for your kids, you may face disspointment.
