This book is very useful if you need to make signs or addresses in stained glass. The patterns are practical and well thought out. There are enough fonts offered that you will be able to find one that suits the correct time period or look you are trying to achieve. I am not aware of another book like this that specializes in only letters and numbers so it fills a specific need and is essential for that specialty.

This is a good reference for alphabets and numbers. There is a variety of fonts, and the designs include the surrounding peices to help incorporate the charachters into larger designs.

This is a great reference book for letters. I found some of the designs to be a bit intricate on a small scale (anything less than 9") but easily changed to fit my needs. Only a handful of different fonts - each letter is shown per font.

It's a good reference to keep in my mosaic library, but I wish there were numbers for all the fonts. The last font is my favorite, but there are no numbers provided for it.

With this book I have found it easy to create the works I have been planning for a while.. easy to use and perfect for what I wanted..

Very nice purchase with many creative ideas that work well together. Excellent for special orders and for people who want a unique idea.

The book arrived promptly and was in excellent condition. Look forward to incorporating letters into my stained glass designs. Thanks!

This book has a great variety of patterns, from easy to pretty intricate. I found some fairly easy letters, since I'm a beginner.
