Negative Positive
Title: outdated
Review: This is a Dover Press book with a 1984 copyright. The front contains about six pages of information about glass etching that is now outdated. It is possible to get free, current (better) information on the web about how to glass etch and the materials needed. I believe that the web would serve you at least as well, if not better, than purchasing this book. Following the six pages of general information, the book contains another thirty or so pages of stencil patterns. The pattern pages are only printed on one side so while the book has 60 or so pages there are are about 24 blank pages within that 60. The patterns are old school and reflect Dover's practice of using old material that has no copyright on it. The patterns include a woman with wings, grapes, a fish, a leopard, a cat, a parrot, an eagle and some art deco type geometric borders. While I sometimes enjoy Dover books and the volume of material that you get for a low price, this book was not what I needed.
