序文によれば著者は技法のDVD化も考えているとか。
翻訳版が出れば,ベストセラー間違いなしだと思います。
装丁は,アメリカの実用書でしばしば使われるルーズリーフ式で,ページを開きやすくなっているが,紙の傷みやページの逸失が心配になる。
最近(2003年)第2版(追補版)が出版された。
The book is both fun and informative - makes you not want to put it down!
If you are like me, just trying to get started, and not really wanting to spend so much on a book, think again...this book is worth more then you would think - and you really are missing out if you try to skip this!
There are only a couple of things that prevent me from giving this book 5 stars overall. One thing is the many typos. While this might not bother some, to me they were distracting, and made the book seem that much less professional. I don't necessarily blame the author so much as the editor -- these are things that should have been caught easily during editing. Perhaps they will be corrected in later editions.
The second (and more serious) issue I had was that of safety. While the author does talk about studio safety and what others do, it seemed that she trivialized some aspects and even mentioned that she does not always follow the recommendations herself. It's true that she is just being honest about how she works; however, with so many people looking up to her as a lampwork expert/role model, and using this book in lieu of taking a class, this is a bit disquieting. More is being discovered every day about the various hazards, as well as how they can be minimized, and even if she does not plan to follow all of the recommendations, I wish she had been a bit less casual about such an important topic.
Other than this, the book really is a wonderful resource. I would recommend it to first-time lampworkers as long as they do additional research on the safety issues, gathering information from other experts as well as from this book.
