Published by Bonanza books, a division of Crown Publishers, Inc. 273 pages, hardbound with dustjacket. Nearly 300 black and white photos and line drawings, 14 color photos. 7 1/4 by 10 1/4 inches. This is a terrific introduction to the art of creative lampworking - glass blowing using a torch, glass tubing, and glass rods. Part 1 gives a brief history of glass and glassmaking, including commentary on Burton's visits to various modern glass centers, as well as some of his "philosophy" of glass. Part 2 gets down to business, including a list of needed tools and materials, setting up your work area, experiments to teach you the basics of glass handling, adding color to your glass creations, and illustrated instructions on making beads, goblets, bottles, jugs, sculptures, and other glass creations. Some of Burton's glass "art" may seem rather crude in light of the advances that have been made in the 35+ years since this book was published. However, this book still contains enough useful information that it should be part of any glass blower's library. Ex-library book with minimal markings, cardpocket inside back cover. Dustjacket has numerous minor scuffs and bumps. Pastedowns are discolored where the DJ was in contact. Bottom of page edges have small spatter stains. Top page edges have some light foxing.
