You might consider doing what I've done, and save yourself a fair amount of 
money. There is a company with the name of something like American Framing
located somewhere is Ohio. You call them up with the dimensions of the 
picture you want to frame, along with the style and color you like (they
have a pretty wide selection) and order by phone. They ship all the parts to
you, and it takes about 5 minutes to put together. If you need a "glass"
cover for the picture, you can go to some plastics place like Read Plastics
in Rockville (I've gone to another place off of Kenilworth Avenue in
Bladensburg, whose name escapes me at this moment). They will cut plexiglass
to the size you specify - I've always asked for the 3/16" commercial grade.
If you need the picture mounted, you can take it to an art store.
	This might seem like a lot of work for one picture, but it you do
a lot of framing, it is a win. I'm a little fuzzy on numbers, but it seems to 
me that the last time I wanted to have a print mounted, matted and framed with
a plexiglass cover, I was quoted about $80 for the job. I did it myself for
about $32.
	I'm also a little short on details, but I can look into it more
next week if you are interested in the name of the frame place (the details
are in my office, and I'm in San Antonio now).
