In light of new technology and the ability to have the Ultimate Reference Manual for Furniture at your fingertips, we are almost finished developing a Furniture Facts© App for the iPhone, and an e-book version. As Mr. Lawhon wanted to continue Mr. Seng's legacy of portability and quality, the e-book will take the place of the paperback version. The new hardcover edition will be a beautifully designed work of art. This coffee table book will have tabs, full color photographs, paint swatches from the different eras, and more. There will be a "handbook" spiral bound, lay flat, for company textbook/training purposes. Details on that coming in May.
