4-0 out of 5 stars A good overview into the life of William Spratling
Don Guillermo, as he was known in Taxco, was an American architect who came upon an impoverished if beautiful Mexican village in the mountains of the state of Guerrero. Stimulated by financial desperation and a challenge from a friend, he hired a silversmith from nearby Iguala and kicked off the renaissance of Mexican silverwork- initially from a table in his house, and ultimately a large workshop turning out exemplary tin, copper, weaving, furniture and, of course, silver. Almost all the smiths who carried out the Taxco tradition were trained in the Spratling workshop. 2-0 out of 5 stars Little Spratling
This pricy but slim volume (126 actual pages of text and photos), is written like a freshman essay.There are facts, but little that illuminates or gives insight into this unusual personality who founded the silver industry in Taxco. It is neither insightful or clever and a biography must have one of these characteristics. Much research seems to have been done, but with little result. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great book
Very good and informative book. I wish it had color photos instead of B&W

5-0 out of 5 stars The best in-print book on this topic
Robert Terzuola's name will be instantly recognizable to knife collectors the world over as the veteran maker of some of the finest tactical knives available. In this excellent book, Terzuola shares his knowledge of the new'hot' item among collectors - the tactical folding knife.5-0 out of 5 stars A wonderful resource for fledgling knife makers
Robert Terzuola's many years of experience as a custom knife maker arethoughtfully distilled into this handy and interesting book."TheTactical Folding Knife" details and explains the many aspects of thedesign and construction of a modern folding knife.This book presupposes acertain level of technical proficiency regarding the use of the industrialtools needed to produce a folding knife of this type, but this fact doesnot detract from its accessibility for both the experienced machinist andthe curious enthusiast.This book is broken down into chapters thatillustrate not only the basic design and construction of a locking linerfolding knife, but also includes chapters describing the characteristics ofdifferent component materials, helpful tips regarding specialized tools anda section on the care and maintenence of a finished knife.Although Idon't think I will rush out and buy a lathe, I do feel that this bookilluminates the subject in a way that can be appreciated by the layman aswell as the experienced machinist ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book -
This is an excellent book with very good, clear precise diagrams
1-0 out of 5 stars There are much better books available on this subject
I prefer the book Art of Chainmail by Dylon Whyte. Available from The Art of Chainmail by Dylon Whyte website or Spider Chains website. In the book by Dylon Whyte, the illustrations are beautiful renderings from a 3D program, with great colour contrast that is easy to understand visually. The information and directions are clearly written and super easy to understand. The author is available by email and is very informative and helpful. It's probably the best book available on this subject.

2-0 out of 5 stars much better information on the web
I received this book as a gift from a friend who wouldnt know any better, but words of caution for anyone looking to buy this: there is much better info on the web. Aside from the incongruent terminology, blurry pictures (probably swiped from the web) and convoluted instructions, it instructs you to use the pincing kind of clippers rather than the shearing kind. The pincing clippers give you link joints that dont meet, creating mail that sometimes won't even stand up to costume wear. She also uses unusually thick wire for my tastes. The only good part is ith glove patterns, though i have yet to try them my self, they seem thought through enugh. Take my advice, look on the web, there are many more comprehensive guides out there than this book. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Good pictures, uninspired text
There are indeed some lovely shots of classic lunch kits in this volume. However, I have yet to find a book that approaches the thoroughness, photographic appeal, or wit of the two books by the fellow who started it all, Scott Bruce. If you are a beginning collector, the best thing you can do is get hold of the Bruce books for a comprehensive history and background, and then sign on to www.lunchboxpad.com, a website run by a young collector, for a realistic current price guide.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great nostalgia and fond memories on every page!
If you ever owned, or wanted to own a lunchbox from the 50's through the80's, this is the book for you.This book provides fond memories of schooldays, mom's lunches and "what was cool!". Full color photographsof the boxes and thermoses from various angles really make it a must forsomeone interested in lunchbox collecting or for someone just looking for afond recollection of a simpler day gone by... ...

2-0 out of 5 stars Amateurish
Although a few of the projects in this book look like they would come out well, I found most of them tacky, amateurish, and frankly, not very well-designed. I have several books on wire crafts, and this is by far the worst. I think that it is important to have good technique--for example, making round loops, avoiding leaving plier marks in the wire--and I found that in general, the projects were very poorly executed. In particular with regard to the more delicate projects, the person who made these left so many scratches and nicks on the wire that you could see the copper coming through the silver coating. Honestly, I would be embarassed to give some of the items in the photos as gifts because of the poor crafts(wo)manship. Other projects were just lame and seemed very flimsy. The cover project--wire-wrapped flatware--looks really cool and was ultimately the reason I bought the book. I haven't done the project, but I worry about whether it would survive normal use and washing. A much better book that has a variety of projects and will inspire creative thinking is Barbara McGuire's "Wire in Design." Read the reviews and see what I mean.

5-0 out of 5 stars Love it!Love it!Love it!
Great book with some really creative ideas. Very detailed instructions and material lists. I can't wait to get started!

5-0 out of 5 stars This book is wonderful!
I came across this book while shopping for fabric, couldn't afford it at the time but immediately put in my amazon wishlist.Of course having it delivered to work was a bad idea, I keep flipping through it and planning all the projects that I can't wait to work on!Not sure about the other reviews that mention materials being hard to find because I haven't started looking for them yet, but as a former art student and hardware store habitue, I don't plan to have any difficulties.Read more
