 Rating:  - Great book for beginners!I have just started fusing glass this year and this is an excellent book. Many "hot tips" listed that are extremely helpful. Very easy to understand the instructions. I highly recommend this book to all glass beginners. Rating: - Begginner or not, Liked the bookI have had this book a couple of weeks and have gone through it several times reviewing projects that I want to do. I realize that many reviewers consider this a beginner book but I am enough of a newbie to appreciate it. I had purchased Petra Kaiser's earlier book,Fuse It, liked it well enough to want to read this one. I enjoyed the projects in the second book a lot. I will certainly be making several of them. I had not worked with fiber board before and looking forward to experimenting with it.I ... Read More Rating:  - Just so soIt was a disappointing book. I'm just getting started in fusing and slumping. I was wanting more instruction and more ideas than this book gives. I wouldn't not recommend it. Rating: - Introduction to Glass FusingThis is a good intro class to glass fusing. It walks you thru projects and explains the various stages of glass fusing in the kiln. The graphs explain the kiln firing-"ramping", "Flash Cooling", when to "Hold Temp" in an easy to understand way. This is the perfect first book to start fusing glass. 200 color photographs. Idiot proof. Rating:  - Introduction to Glass FusingThis is a great book for the glass fusing novice. It provides step by step directions for several projects as well as a solid overview of the process involved in art of warm glass.
