For this audience, beginning faceters, I give it a 5 star rating. The author is highly experience and coves all the important topics clearly and provides much more in insights and tips and illustrations.
It is spiral bound, and well organized, and has many sections, such as; history of faceting, glossary of terms, the faceting machine explained well, other items needed and items the not necessary but helpful items, properties of gem minerals, types of gem material, discussion of the parts of a cut gem.
Then the author then has a well illustrated guided exercise in cutting a fairly simple stone, with helpful tips along the way.
After the cutting exercise comes more on how to free the stone and clean it up. There is a short care and maintenance section, then a list of sources for equipment with facts on general price range and usefulness, some tables on gem properties and names, finally a list of sources for gem design software, books, online discussion groups, sources for cutting machines and accessories, even a sources list for some of the most useful jewelry settings suppliers
The helpful suggestions, numerous illustrations of every stage of cutting, and the list of literature and accessory supplies that set this book apart from many others. Also, it is kept current and is easy to use in the spiral binding.
If the book is hard to find, it cam be ordered online from the author's Jewelry store. ( )
