Fine Silver Sampler

Like her other title, "Fine Silver Made Fun", for the price it was very disappointing. Author seems knowledgeable, but she needs to produce a full book (not booklet) and have it professionally edited and published. This "book" looks like it was produced quickly for a workshop and not edited.

What a RIPOFF

I was beyond disappointed with this "book". First off I expected to receive a book and not a pamphlet. Second the information was useless if you have ever read any other PMC book. I will definitely make a note of the author and never buy sight unseen from her again. There are so many good...

Overpriced duplicate of other publications

This is not a book, more of a pamphlet. The information & projects provided are all from other publications by the author, and offers nothing for even the most basic of beginners. Avoid this "book" and save your money for some PMC+.

Buy another book...

There are plenty of precious metal clay books worth buying but this is not one of them--unfortunately. This was the first precious metal clay book I bought and now that I completed the 3-day certification class in PMC, I realize how poorly done this book is, and I wasted my money on this...

Amazingly Disappointing - SAVE YOUR MONEY

For starters, though the information in this book IS good there is nothing in here that you can't find either on the Internet or in one of the many other books about Precious Metal Clay.Why is this important? Because for about $4-5 more you can get a more robust, WELL MADE, well produced book on...
