Most of the text is on botany, by scholars for scholars, and reveals little about the glass flowers.
Leaves the introduction that is informative, yet the authors could have done a much better job. Details on designs and design processes, tools, properties of glass, what you can and what you cannot do when shaping glass: if it is there at all, it is not there in depth.
I wish I could say this is a good book, but its concept is outdated. ( )
