THE Bible for warm glass May 2, 2005
16 out of 16 found this review helpful

Although Brad's book has been out for a while, it is still considered one of the best on the market. It can take the beginner to such high levels of skill by just using one or more of the tutorials. www.warmglass.com is the companian website, and almost any question can be searched in the archives, or posted new and answered by people who really want to help.

I think most of us that own this book are looking forward to a sequel with even more detail.

I have not ever felt the need to own another book on Warm Glass since purchasing this one!

The teacher February 16, 2005

Brad's book was the first one from lot's of glass books I've bought in the last 3 years. The first and the most important one.
I've learned so much from it - and I still do!!
I've never had a course on warmglass but Brad's book was and still is my teacher.
It covers the subject from the beginning, but it is not only a beginners book, cause it goes beyond - every time you come back to it's pages you will see a different facet of the problem.
If you love glass, you will love Brad's book!!

My Bible! February 12, 2005
15 out of 15 found this review helpful

This is the book I reach for again and again--a must-have for anyone seriously considering working with kiln-formed glass. I have two copies: one on my nightstand that I refer to when I'm reviewing my day's glass working questions, and the yellow-highlighted copy in my studio that I use as my how-to guide while I'm actually working. I have several reference and idea books, but this is by far the one I consider my most used and most useful.

Nice but overpriced March 15, 2003

This is a nicely presented book. The writing style is clear and informative. The pictures are nice, though a little artsy for me to find inspiring. My problem with the book is that I had already gleaned most of what I found in it on the internet - from free and helpful sources. I paid over [money] for this book what with ... I expected to be enthralled, educated and inspired for that amount of money. I was not. Every page was a disappointment - nothing I hadn't already found out. If you don't want to spend the time to ferret out this info on your own, then perhaps the book is worth your money. I, however, am going to be smarting from the loss I took on it for some time to come. At [money], I would have kept it. That's about what I would expect to pay for an arts and crafts book like this one - like many other fine ones I've invested in.

A Glass Fuser's Must Read May 9, 2002
78 out of 80 found this review helpful

I own a stack of glass kiln-working books (including all of Lundstrom's). Many of them are very good.

None, though, can touch Walker's book for easy-to-follow, comprehensive coverage of this topic. All the basics are covered with clear step-by-step instructions and just enough science and background to make it all make sense.

If you're thinking about getting into warm glass work then start here.
