I bought the book because I found a piece of Peggy Karr glass at an estate sale and I wanted to learn more about it.The book is full of beautiful pictures as well as the story of the artist herself.
It wasn't what I expected. It was just pictures of things she had done which I am not terribly impressed with anyway. I was hoping the book would contain some stencils to use - which it didn't. I wouldn't recommend it at all.
Great price on a book that is a must-have for a Peggy Karr collector.
Great book showcasing Peggy Karr's art glass. Since I cannot own all of her beautiful art glass, at least I can enjoy them by perusing this book.
