Continuing on in the tradition of Fassett and Bahouth's needlepoint books, this is a trove of eye candy. Unreal photos that inspire in a multitude of ways.

Among the best mosaic books out there. Written from the perspective of mosaic as an art, rather than as an informal craft. Beautifully illustrated book. Recommend the hardback edition.
