Summary: Wonderful book for lampwork enthusiasts!
Comment: This is a terrific book for anyone who appreciates the art of lampworking, especially for those of us who collect these beautiful beads. There are short bios of the featured artists, along with examples of their work and tips for other lampwork artists. Being a collector of fine lampwork beads, I was delighted to see the faces and read the stories of so many talented artists I have come to "know" over the years. This book is a "must have" for bead lovers, jewelry designers, and lampwork connoisseurs, and would make a wonderful gift for anyone who appreciates glass artistry!
I HIGHLY recommend this book!

Summary: The Art & Soul of Glass Beads
Comment: If you have ever admired art glass beads and wanted to learn to string them, The Art and Soul of Glass Beads will certainly get you started. Sixteen amazing lampwork artists talk about their own creativity, what got them started and share a few tips and advise on where to go to find proper equipment, glass and get help along the way. Many of these artists pour out their "souls" and share their beads as well as their experiences as they struggled to learn methods to this ancient craft as well as how to buy their beads for use in your own work. The book also has lots of projects for art bead jewelry makers. The book has easy to follow jewelry directions, illustrations, glossaries and how-tos. The photography is very high quality. I would say that anyone interested in art glass beads as a craft would find the book helpful. I enjoyed each artist's own narrative. It was a very personal look at glass bead jewelry: art and soul.

Summary: Little to Offer that Can't Be Found Elsewhere
Comment: This book is definitely not for lampworkers, as it contains no information on technique. Even in terms of eye candy, it's lacking -- most of the beads shown are the common dot and line designs you see from relatively new lampworkers [...] every day.
I wouldn't say it has much for those who make beaded jewelry, either -- just the same kinds of projects and styles you see in the bead magazines every month. [...] it's not worth the money.
It gets one star from me, but only because that's the least I can give.
