Format:Paperback
As a stained glass enthusiast and renovator of historic homes, I'm putting this book at the top of my favorites list.
Unlike so many stained glass pattern books that modernize patterns, the beautiful and varied patterns in this book are rendered directly from historic homes. The patterns are organized into five sections: Art Nouveau, Victorian Geometric, Victorian Floral, Edwardian and The Twenties.
All patterns were gleaned from homes in a fairly localized area of England, and they are slightly limited in their regionalism -- the Victorian patterns, in particular, are definitely English Victorian, which sometimes varies widely from what I'm used to here in the U.S. Nonetheless, there are patterns for all tastes and all skill levels, most of which lend themselves more properly to lead came than copper foil.
All patterns are for windows, doors, sidelights and the like. There are no craft, lamp or jewelry projects included in the book.

Very simplistic designs. If you are looking for a challenging design, look somewhere else.
The book is in black and white, and therefore lacks colour suggestions. Which also hints that most of these designs were never implemented on glass - they're just designs
However, if your collection lacks traditional designs, this is the one for you.
