The Stained Glass Handbook covers everything you need to know to become proficient in stained glass. It sold out two editions when first printed and has become a favorite for teachers as well as learners for its "no fluff" approach.. The author is a glass artist who has worked on large commissions, autonomous panels and on the conservation of windows. A whole chapter on design considerations for commissions makes it more than just a how-to book. This 3rd edition includes sections on digital photography of architectural stained glass and a section on software for stained glass design.

"It is the best I have seen by far. Anyone beginning stained glass work should have it as part of their essential equipment to start." Bob Smith - New Jersey.
"It is written by a person who knows technique from working on serious projects, who knows shortcuts and where some things wouldn't work, and also he is an artist and a designer. It gives a sense of real work and real world situations." -- Sasha Zhitneva - Pensylvania
"An excellent example of how a "how to" book should be done. Complete with video instructional downloads, he can "show AND tell" how to perform each step. One of the best things I liked about the book was its concise nature in explanations. He puts things into words which I have trouble explaining to my students and prefer to demonstrate or show it to them. -- Angel Hall - Colorado
"I tell my students everything I teach they will find in the book, and the bits I've overlooked will be in there too!" -- Stefanie Mann - New Zealand
"From a teaching perspective, the book is wonderful. In class you don't always remember or have time to go over everything and I like to have something for my students to reference when they are out of class." -- Jacqui Bush
"I have been thumbing through the book and it is just what I needed. I had also been wanting to build a storage rack for my glass. Your tips on doing that are very welcomed. " -- Linda Chase
