Summary: A delightful resource
Comment: I took stained glass classes a few years ago and bought much of the necessary equipment at the time. Unfortunately I got away from the hobby and when I wanted to return to it again, cast about for a resonably priced book that would help with refresher information and provide interesting projects for the novice. Though some seem a little more advanced than my present level, there were several that were "doable." More satisfying still was the fact that these simler patterns were very effective designs, providing the maximum impression for the least amount of actual skill/effort. They put the careful beginner in the best possible light!

Summary: I Must Disagree
Comment: While this book has some beautiful projects, it's SORELY lacking in details. If an absolute beginner were to rely exclusively upon this book for guidance, he/she would be up the proverbial creek.
For example, on page 112 is a four panel lamp project. When I learned to make panel lamps, I not only had eight hours of classroom instruction, but also relied upon the book "Sundown Lamps" by Donna Eller for guidance. For this project, one is referred to pps 75-76, which contains five paragraphs of general instructions.
I does provide an excellent description and photograph of commonly used tools.
For the money, I'd opt to purchase "The Complete Stained Glass Course" by Lynette Wrigley and Marc Gerstein. Plus, there are some wonderful discussion boards on the web - and folks who are very generous with their time and advice. (Patient, too!!)

Summary: Stained Glass Basics: Techniques, Tools, Projects
Comment: This is the perfect book for beginners. I found it easy to understand, very informative and full of beautiful patterns. I used it in conjunction with local classes and found it extremely helpful. I have put together several of the projects outlined in this book and have had complete success. What a find!
