Review: Tons of great information - I keep picking this book up and studying a random page. Always learn something new (I am new to this). I love the illustrations that are in here. It’s organized well, colorful and you can learn a lot from it. Excellent reference.
Review: Essential - This is my first go-to book when I am doing something new and need to know how to get started. It is encyclopedic in that it covers everything, but it does not go into a lot of detail on some subjects. It seems to have enough to get you started, and a lot of details on setting up workshop, tools, etc with less coverage of the more advanced techniques. The pro edition is a spiral bound hard cover, and it also has more pages and more subjects than the cheaper student edition. I bought the pro version since I would would hate to end up buying both if I find out it had something essential. There is also a super-deluxe version that has a DVD, The Pro edition is the one you want. The book has lots of reference material, details on tools, metals, techniques, etc. so if you are doing jewelry work or metalsmithing it has enough in it to make it worth buying. It does not have pretty pictures, and does not have a lot of details for the more advanced techniques, but in those cases you really need to buy a book devoted to a single technique to get enough coverage. I bought this and Jinks McGrath's The Encyclopedia of Jewelry-Making Techniques: A Comprehensive Visual Guide to Traditional and Contemporary Techniques and they are a good pair. McGraths's book is less thorough but he has a different perspective on things and also includes lots of nice photos. It is more visual and maybe that is more useful for some people, but I find them both essential. If I had to buy just one, it would be the McCreight book since I can live without the photos, but for the very beginner I think the McGrath book may be a little easier to get into.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book for any metal enthusiast
*by C***G on September 6, 2008*

Recently I have returned to playing with metal in designing jewelry, mixed media art, and fine art. The author of this book - Tim McCreight is world-known for his work and providing books to help others learn the basics and some of his own "tricks" in manipulating metal. I have to say this book is one of his best and probably the one I hold in highest regard. It it thorough. It is well written. It is full of high quality, often with color to help know which piece is what when working an item. It is well organized. The appendices are SUPERB - from safety (ventilation, repetitive motion, chemicals) to suppliers to geometric formulas to melting points to conversion factors to properly photographing jewelry AND MORE! It is a great starting point for all those who are seriously interested in pursuing this type of work as a hobby or art. Some of McCreight's other books (e.g.Practical Joining) are often rehashes with a bit more thoroughness of this book, while others (e.g. on PMC - precious metal clay) cover other topics. Of the numerous books by MeCreight in my library, I refer to this one first. The spriral binding is great and thus when I have to review something when working, the book lies flat and doesn't need to be held down in order to stay in place. The only drawback is that the cover (at least my version) tends to attact fuzz or dog hair when I take it from my work area to review sections in my home. Weird...luckily tape takes care of that problem for I don't want to give up my pets! So for beginners to advanced workers in metal - get this book first...or second if you want a more beginner book to see if this work is really for you. Other books by McCreight should be considered IF you are interested in pursuing various aspects of metalwork in detail (e.g. "Metals Technic" - book based on his workshops and focused on producing quality pieces in various methodologies...but some of the images in it have much to be desired - ?new addition might help that???).
