Summary: 5 Stars
I learned a great deal from this book and even more from Ed's Advanced Glassworking Techniques. If you're planning on taking a class, want to learn about glassblowing or already blow glass and want to improve, I promise you'll find value in these two books. Ed explains the process in a really straightforward and fun way; he's much more knowledgeable and helpful in book form than just about every 'teacher' I've met in person. Since there are about 100 ways to skin a cat or make things out of glass, even if you've worked around skilled glassblowers you'll still get insights about why glass does what it does and how you can coax it to do what you want. I think I read the Advanced book about 100 times over the years and I highly recommend these books to anyone getting into glass.
And the bonus of it all is I met Ed briefly at Pilchuck and he's a super nice guy to boot.
