Warm Glass by Eva Pascual I Miro, Eva Pascual, Ignasi Domenech, Philippa Beveridge (2005, Hardcover)

This is a beautiful instructional book. Beginner's will be introduced to the fundamentals of working with warm glass while those with a firm grasp on firing will find new techniques to explore, e.g. casting. I would not recommend it to advanced warm glass artists because it has more breadth than depth. Having said that, I will add that its breadth is part of what makes it so impressive. If you're an advanced artist stuck in a rut you might find this book inspirational.

It is a bit pricey in comparison to some of the more common titles but the photography is much better. If you are the type of reader who really appreciates pictures than this book will be of great value to you. On the other hand, if you are more of a word person and would rather have more in-depth information than there are probably better introductory books for you like Brad Walker's "Contemporary Warm Glass," Gil Reynold's classic "The Fused Glass Handbook - Rev. ed." or the pioneering work by Boyce Lundstom -- "Kiln Firing Glass Book 1."

So far everything I've read in this book has been informative.

After reading it, I'm ready to try projects this book suggests.
