This review is from: Stained Glass Primer: The Basic Skills (Paperback)

After checking this book out at my local library, I have decided it is a must have as a beginner in the art of stained glass. It is not only informative, but clear and easy to understand. You are walked through the process step by step as though you were in a classroom. Affordable, well written, and a perfect book for the introduction to stained glass. The only improvement to the book would be an updated volume with color photo's, although there is an abundance of black and white photo's which are very helpful.
