Only rating the shipper.
The shipment arrived very very fast, the book stinks but that is not the shippers problem.

This book has already paid for its self.
This book is a little large to be carrying around, however I still do carry it to places that I already know will have the pattern I am looking for.

Great for starting out.
I tried stained glass construction 25+ years ago. I wish I'd had this book then. I'm starting over again. I'm going to the GlassExpo in Las Vegas the end of Mrch 06.

A good introduction for a beginner
This is the first book I bought when I started learning this amazing craft.It has beautiful illustrations and pictures (in color), which really show some of the techniques better than you can describe them.It is short and to-the-point, but I did eventually buy a more detailed book.But this one remains the one that I check back with to answer quick questions!Definitely worth the money!

Quick Success to Stain Glass
I am a beginner and I'm teaching myself. This book was very helpful in teaching me how to begin. It also has a lot of nice designs that I was not afraid to try. I found this book very helpful in getting started. ... Read more

Incredible source book
If you can't find a design you can use for inspiration, you're just not looking hard enough.Not for beginners since the designs are incredibly intricate, but your creativity will wake up and take notice.

Super source book
Originally, this was a pair of portfolios of designs in the Art Nouveau period. Art Nouveau was not just twisty flowers, though some people like to stereotype it into those narrow parameters. This is not a how-to book with cutting patterns. It has only the paintings with suggested scale. On a few pages, motifs overlap each other, so you can't just scan and go: you have to build up your idea of the covered areas. One pictorial arched piece is missing the right third, again a challenge to finish it yourself. Not really Art Nouveau
Though some of the designs are nice, most are way too busy for my taste, and I wouldn't really call them Art Nouveau.Quite a few of them look more like Renaissance style stained glass, and some of them look modern (like the sailboat patterns?).It is in color, though, which is nice.Very complicated - definately not for beginning stained glass crafters. ...

Fenton glass from 1939 to 1980 beautifully illustrated.

Fenton Art Glass Patterns Second Edition by Whitmeyer
Super good book and great for identifying the old patterns. I have used this book a lot. Pictures are great and there is a section that identifies the years that each Fenton piece was introduced during the years 1939-1980. Great for the beginning Fenton Collector.

Historical & Educational
This book explains the Fenton history and provides year by year evolution of their glass making designs. Photographed in color as well as black & white the references are excellent.Read more

Lots of Color
The best stained glass pattern book I've seen. Each and every one of the 50+ patterns has a color example for color-challenged beginners like myself. The photography is excellent and many photos are accompanied by light-hearted poetry. If you don't do stained glass, go ahead and get this one for the coffee table. ... Read more
