Good but not without flaws April 9, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This is certainly a large and eye-catching treatment of lampworking, covering a lot of territory. The style of writing is generally easy to follow and comfortable to read. Lots of color photos of beautiful (and inspiring) pieces. These and other positive points are addressed in previous reviews.
On the other hand, the biggest negative point concerns the photos that illustrate techniques. Unlike the gallery pictures, these "how-to" photo series are TINY. It's understandable that the photo size needs to be kept down since there are so many of them. But between the small size and the fact that the photography is in some cases not very good, it can be quite difficult to see what is being illustrated. In a few cases, the photos are all but useless. Since this book is sold as a guide to lampworking, I would contend that this is a pretty significant shortcoming. Fortunately, the drawings are generally quite clear and informative.

If you could have only one book, it would be wise to consider this one. I have been in this industry many years and this is by far the best book I have seen out there.

It's Just OKAY! December 24, 2003

To the naive public this book is great! Riddled with typos and inconsistant captions this book is not ideal for understanding formal flameworking. The book includes information about the masters and their techniques but trivializes their skill by including no-names and wanna-be's along side. A good amount of important technical information is provided, but through a string of often choppy inconsistant paragraph fragments. This is an excellent PICTURE BOOK leaving a lot to be desired from the academic artisan. Is a great reference for suppliers. In many cases the information falls short of being cohesive and understandable. Recommended for the glass-goer. Recommended for the amateur glassblower (for inspiration). Has popular appeal void of substance.
