4 Stars Excellent Beginner Book
Very detailed and organized. I am glad I bought the book. As a beginner in stained glass this met my needs.

5 Stars Just What I needed
The title says it all. I went from never having worked with stained glass to completing the first two projects in the book - and it was fun! Now, I’m working on my first original stained glass design. This book is great for anyone new to stained glass - the step by step instructions would probably be excrutiatingly slow to someone who already has a lot of experience, but they were exactly what I needed to get started! I also really liked the explanation of all the most common tools and equipment.

5 Stars Good Fast Read
Quick, easy and lots of pictures. Binding allows all the pages to turn easily, preventing the pages from ‘closing’ up on you while you try to follow the instructions.
