<p>Kiln-forming as a technique to shape glass was in use for centuries before the Romans developed glassblowing, which has since become the more widely used method. Today, modern glass artists are rediscovering the versatility of kiln forming and are using the technique to produce works of great beauty and strength. In this book, Keith Cummings reviews the history of kiln forming and discusses pertinent materials and methods, such as slumping and fusing. The work of an international group of artists is used to illustrate the text.</p>

Bonynge has built an enormous collection of theatrical postcards & is well placed to compile a useful guide for those already in the field, for those who would like to start collecting, & for the many who are fascinated by the theater & its history. He offers advice on starting a collection, categorizing theatrical postcards, finding them, & estimating their relative values. Over 200 postcards are illustrated, covering ballet, variety, pantomime, opera, circus & cinema; there are performers, playwrights & composers. The book is a spectacular portrait gallery of famous faces, not to mention fashions in theatrical dress, with many rare shots. Illustrations are in color, & duotone.
