     The goal of the book is to provide professional guidance to the novice installer.  If you read the Table of Contents above you will see the scope of this ebook is broader than just hanging paper. 
     You will find chapters on correct wall preparation.  This includes the difference between priming and sizing as well as stripping and liners.  The chapter on Types of Wallcoverings covers more wallcovering products than some professionals have installed. 
     Design Tips is invaluable if you are not sure how to choose your wallcovering.  The Tricks of the Trade chapter will make several tasks easier for you and if you have a ceiling to do, you're going to love the Ceilings chapter.
     As you can see from the Table of Contents, there is a chapter on just about everything the amateur paperhanger would need to know (and more) for their first paperhanging project.  There are also links to even more help as well as contacts for those who may be considering a career in paperhanging. 

This resource is absolutely free!

Bull, you say nothing is free! Well, look again. No jive, no catch. Why free you say? Because I believe what goes around comes around. Cliche or not, I believe making the pie bigger is more important than hogging up your piece of pie. The more people who are into wallcoverings, the better for everyone, including me. Enjoy!
