If you could have only one book, it would be wise to consider this one. If you have many books, this will be your best one. If you are teaching glass, this book should be required reading for the class because it not only teaches what people must learn, it also replaces some former misconceptions with accurate incormation. --The Independent Glassblower Magazine

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely amazing, January 19, 2003
By 
Michael J. Parker (overland park, ks United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Contemporary Lampworking: A Practical Guide to Shaping Glass in the Flame (Volume 1 and 2) Third Edition (Hardcover-spiral)
It should get more stars than five, the history of lampworking portion of the book is almost worth the price of the book itself.The history portion is only a small portion of the set. I have been doing lampworking for about 3 years now and I search the internet for anything reguarding lampworking often and this book set has tons of stuff I have never seen. excellent.

By A Customer
This review is from: Contemporary Lampworking: A Practical Guide to Shaping Glass in the Flame (Volume 1 and 2) Third Edition (Hardcover-spiral)
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.
