This book is a basic introduction to lost-wax casting with emphasis on jewelry making. It is designed to be used both as a textbook and a reference book and is directed primarily at beginners. Experienced casters, however, will probably find some useful ideas; they may even find some new techniques. Heavy emphasis is placed upon understanding why things are done in a particular way, rather than simply presenting a set of cookbook rules that will always work. The book is also available from the publisher in a 8.5x11 inch spiral-bound Shop Edition. See ISBN 0-9679600-3-6.

The Shop Edition of Lost-Wax Casting has a content that is identical with the standard edition. However, the 8.5 x 11 inch format is larger with wide margins suitable for taking notes or keeping calculations. The wider pages make it easier for the book to lie open on the work bench. In addition, it is useful to take the book to Kinko's, or another local printer, to have the book spine cut off and the loose pages spiral-bound. This makes it possible for the book to rest completely flat on the work bench. In the past the spiral-bound edition has been available on Amazon but the printing and binding cost has made the spiral-bound edition impractical and this modification is left to the buyer. The content of both editions is a basic introduction to lost-wax casting with emphasis on jewelry making. It is designed to be used both as a textbook and a reference book and is directed primarily for beginners. Experienced casters, however, will probably find some useful ideas; they may even find some new techniques. Heavy emphasis is placed upon understanding why things are done in a particular way, rather than simply presenting a set of cookbook rules that will always work. The book is also available in a 7.44 x 9.69 inch perfect-bound edition. See ISBN 0-9679600-0-5.

ADVENTURE TALES FROM FLORIDA'S PAST, Peggy Sias Lantz Many of the events in Florida history included a young person, who may have showed courage or ingenuity or creativity. Each of these ten stories puts a young person front and center in some historic occurrence in Florida. All of them are true or contain fictionalized historic truth. All have been carefully researched. Information about exactly what is true and what the author has added to make it read like fiction is detailed at the end of each story.

Genealogy

Early Settlers in Ontario, Canada is a narrative that describes the everyday life of the Hogg, Ramsay, and Breimer families as they settled and raised families during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in 1873, Wilhelmine, usually called “Billie”, sets down some history of the Hogg family in Scotland before they emigrated to Canada. Most of the book is devoted to her early years in Parry Sound on Georgian Bay. Finally she tells of her education as a nurse in Chicago, her marriage,and her family’s move to Florida in 1914. The text has been left virtually as set down in 1938.   New pages, typewritten on yellowed sheets, were found later and have been added to this new edition of her memoirs.
