So many designs, so little time

This book has an eclectic assortment of designs ranging from classical to ultra modern. There are also quite a few nouveau nature screens (dolphins, parrots, seascapes, tropical fish, etc), which is not surprising considering that this is the "Fort Lauderdale" edition. I was really impressed with the "Grand Entryways" and "Abstractions" sections; some of the designs are truly amazing.The book has 78 pages, and every other page is jammed packed with photographs of actual stained glass windows, doorways, and transoms. The photos are all extremely well done and inspiring. The other pages are filled with scaled patterns. I especially liked the fact that all of the patterns are shaded to indicate colors and textures. Two negatives about the book are: 1) not all of the scaled patterns have a corresponding photo of the completed panel, and not all of the photos have corresponding scaled patterns (this gets very confusing a times) and 2) the binding is of a poor quality (the pages started to fall out almost immediately).
