after recently becoming obsessed with making stained glass and purchasing some patterns on etsy, i can confidently say that this book is worth it just for the beautiful patterns alone! however, it's also incredibly useful to have all the steps (with photos) laid out along with specific product recommendations and many helpful tips. also worth noting it's not just for those using lead-free solder as it has all the info for lead soldering too! the size of the book is perfect and i love the matte-like texture it has.
