Barry,

Thank you once again for your prompt delivery of the books I ordered. The material inside both of them is amazing! I am now re-reading them because there is so much worthwhile information to absorb.

This has completely changed my stained glass designs and my mind is just reeling with ideas! I will be certain to send you a picture of my first completed project.

All my best,
Tim L.
