This book's title and the publisher's description of it are misleading. This little tome would more accurately be touted as a brief very first book about mosaics for a child who has not yet made a mosaic. It is certainly not a bible (which implies comprehensive as well as authoritative) and it is certainly not a mosaic artist's bible. No one who considered herself or himself a mosaic artist would require the guidance proffered.
Change the title and change the description and you have a very fine product.

Excellent book on mosaics for both beginners and advanced crafters. Contains a great selection of designs ranging from simple to more complex. Also includes a well constructed technical section. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a mosaic book at their fingertips that has it all.

This is a great book for newbies to the world of mosaic art and designs. I highly recommend it.

A mosaic artist's "bible" should cover, or at least refer to, all things mosaic. I found this to be more of a craft-oriented, paint-by-numbers book of patterns, not geared to artists. I suppose the patterns may be helpful for those who do not create their own designs but if that's not what you're after, this book not only doesn't offer anything new, it doesn't even touch on many of the most important mosaic materials and techniques, so the title is very misleading. This book never once refers to smalti, the most basic and historic of tesserae, not does it discuss any artistic techniques, such as visual flow(andemento) or outlining. The words "bible" and "artist's" should not be in the title, maybe more "how-to" for beginners.

My very first impression was less than excited, but the more I look at it, the more I see that it can serve as either a jump start for inspiration, or information for technical applications. Can also serve to show a client some possibilities or how something might look upon completion for simple jobs, like address plaques. Nothing, or very little, in the way of pebble or marble or smalti mosaics, but big on glass, which is okay, but leaves the title a somewhat misleading. And nothing on framing, mounting or hanging.
