    This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is in better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you!

    Great seller! Item is what I ordered; good communication; shipped promptly; good value. NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).

  • Fantastic!

    What a fantastic book!! Often I have found books that describe a method, but then fail to show appropriate pictures, or offer examples of its implementation. This book has 15 different surface techniques featured. For each one, there are clear pictures and description of how to achieve the result, but then there are several photos of pieces where this technique was used. The examples were of different difficulty levels, so any jeweler would find it useful. Well done!

  • The title is exactly what this book is about.

    I am a beginning metalsmith/crafter and recipes for patinas and finishes is what I was looking for. This book gave me what I wanted and I am dying to try them. There are many recipes in this book and tips to seal the pieces so that they stop oxidizing. There are lots of pictures and illustrations. The explanations are clear and consise. Overall, I really, really like this book.
