I liked this book very much. It was very informative. I'm glad I purchased it.

Kohler's book is a beautiful compilation of hot glass techniques. Beginning with a brief history of this centuries-old craft, she then discusses various methods of forming hot glass, presenting them first with an artist's appreciation, and then with simple explanations/directions to imitate the featured technique. The book is richly illustrated and inspiring--I found myself marking several pages with technique I wanted to try.

The book is a bargain at this price--it's hard cover, beautifully illustrated in full color, and thick enough to keep you coming back for more.
