Encyclopedia Of Mosaic Techniques: A Step-by-step Visual Directory, With An Inspirational Gallery Of Finished ...19 reviews
Emma Biggs
Running Press, 1996
Best Basic Mosaic Manual
I found this book to be an excellent primer for the person getting started in mosaics. The various techniques are well illustrated with easy to understand text. I found the designs interesting, colorful, and the type I could put to use. All of this is laid out in a spiral bound book that lays flat for easy reading and reference. I own several books on mosaics, but this one is my favorite.

Stan Toler
RiverOak Publishing, 2001
Delightful
During the Holidays, which was really busy, I looked forward to just relaxing and reading a few chapters at a time.
God most definitely has a sense of humor, I gave one to a friend, and she has ended up purchasing several for gifts, as I did.

I think it has too many history pages..practically half the book is on history of knitwear with lots of pictures ...I guess that what you pay for since the book is rather pricy. Overall an excellent book with clear explaination and description.

Creams, Confections, and Finished Desserts (French Professional Pastry Series)4 reviews
Roland Bilheux, Alain Escoffier
Wiley, 1998
This series leaves very little to guesswork. Not for novices
An excellent and complete manual for French pastry. These classic techniques are taught to every French pastry apprentice. They are all basic instuctions but very detailed and can be built on very easily. Only caveat: the ingredients used are French and/or European and American equivalents aren't suggested. Only the language has been translated-but not the culture!
