CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Lovely Ideas - 
This book has 12 projects that they show how to make. Step by step on most projects, and these projects are actually "do-able" from a beginner standpoint.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
Good, but not the best -
This is a good book for beginning mosaicists. It follows the usual format - history, techniques & materials, gallery, projects.
I recommend it because it covers all of these topics quite well, it's well laid out and it's more affordable than many similar books.
However.
I bought this book because I admire Elaine Goodwin's work, so I was disappointed that only about half of the projects feature her designs.
I was annoyed to find that of the 4 pieces on the cover, only 2 are projects - the other 2 are from the gallery. That's a bit like false advertising IMO.
Finally, the designs/templates used in the projects are not clear and easy to use - in some cases they're no more than fuzzy photographs of pencil sketches. Perhaps the author doesn't want us to slavishly follow her designs, but for someone who can't draw it's frustrating.
Finally (and now I'm really splitting hairs) the list of requirements for each project is badly presented, squashed into a little box although there's plenty of space on the page. A case of design conquering usability I guess.
Nice layout and well written How-to -
This is a very pretty and well laid out book that takes you through several types of mosaic projects. Nice how-to with very clear pictures.
