This is a first rate beginning book on setting up a shop and glassblowing, by someone experienced in the art form. It is also entertaining, features hand drawn illustrations, and is told from a personal point of view, which makes it much more relatable than most “how-to” books.

This a masterpiece. Thanks Ed.

Handwritten book. Detailed instruction while each page is forested with sketches. Witty and cynical voice.
