Your Ultimate Guide makes me feel like I already have such a jump on any existing framers. I can't thank you enough.

Your web site is the ONLY site for the 'serious' picture framer...whether just starting out, or returning to the profession.
Maria Contessa, NH



You have always given me such great advice and really inspired me to open my own shop. I have been in business for almost a year and everything has gone smoothly, customers have been happy, things are all going well."

Steve, I have thoroughly enjoyed every one of your letters! They are filled with so much wisdom and experience.

I have read your material prior to attending the American Picture Framing Academy school.  I am a newbie, and your letters were my first encounter with the how to's of the framing industry.

Due to the limited time in class, naturally, the instructor can not go into the details that you provided in your guide.

Armed with the knowledge from the Ultimate Guide letters, I made better use of my time in class.
