The book looks from the outside fine, but I thought it would be something more. Some creative works were a little boring and simple. Wished there would also be more mosaic than there was.

Just finished reading Concrete Crafts, their other concrete book, plus several of their knit and crochet books. As with their entire library, their books are enthusiastic but a bit short on good craftsmanship as well as specific step-by-step directions. So, if you need more details, this book will drive you crazy. This book is fun but nothing new, really.
