Aunque han pasado quince años desde que saliera de imprenta la primera edición, y como quiera que el rumbo de mi vida discurre, no sin interrupciones, por la misma senda (el mundo del mueble y su restauracion), vuelvo a editar el manual, una vez agotados los ejemplares de las ediciones anteriores, pero esta vez ampliado con una seleccion de articulos que durante estos ultimos años he publicado en algunas revistas.Algunos temas tal vez se repitan, ya que he mantenido el contenido de la edicion anterior y los articulos tratan en parte algunos de esos temas, aunque en mayor profundidad.Asi mismo he revisado el texto original, añadiendo, quitando, cambiando lo que me parecia para darle, si cabe, mas sentido didactico a las explicaciones.
