"Just wanted you to know that I received The Book on Glass Plating and gobbled it up in one sitting. I haven't been this excited about glass in a long, long time. Also, I have a large library of glass books on all topics, from many 'experts'. Your book is head and shoulders above all others in readability and detail. This is the first time I can remember finishing a technical book and having no unanswered questions. Thanks for a truly good piece of work".

"Mr. Masser: I purchased your book a few months ago and have just finished the included "Farm Road" project. Your book was so well written that all the techniques were easily applied. In fact, I used the book throughout the building process by looking back and making sure I understood the finer points of what you were teaching. I marvel at the finished work because it looks different in the ever changing light conditions at various times during the day. Glass plating has opened a whole new world of fun for me. I am relatively new to stained glass, but I love learning new skills. With the aid of your book and the right tools, almost anyone can successfully complete one of these projects".
