SAMPLE CUSTOMER REVIEWS –
1) Best soldering instructions - This is a beautifully written and photographed reference on soldering. I own many jewelry making books, but none compare with the amount of information that is found in this one. Techniques that I have never seen in any other book. The author explains every process in very understandable detail. The book has great projects, and plenty of inspiration to spark creativity! This can be a huge help for someone who has had some basic experience with soldering, but wants to progress to more challenging projects. Also answers many questions on how complex pieces are put together. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to enhance their soldering knowledge, and be inspired. A must for your library !

2) Fabulous Addition to Soldering Library - I've been a practicing metalsmith for about 3 years and probably have every book on the subject of soldering that's been published. The Art of Soldering for Jewelry Makers... is hands-down one of the best. Lots of practical tips and information in a well-written and well-photographed format and the projects, designed to teach/improve one's soldering skills, are beautiful with excellent step-by-step instructions. I would recommend this book to anyone just starting out with a torch and some metal and anyone who is already experienced but wants to improve and/or soak up some valuable tips.
