This book is full of ideas for lampwork beads with example after example of methods for producing something lovely. She doesn't give much information on torches or big equipment but makes up for it with a fine example of how to use the beads in jewellery projects.
Packed with information and fun ideas, it is a must for any lampworker, especially beginners and improvers.

I requested this through the library system, thankfully I didn't spend any money doing so.
Very disappointing, there are so many better books on the subject.

It was an OK book. I have another one and everything in this one was covered in my first purchase. I really bought this impulsively and now wish I ahd looked around more. OK, but not the best!
