Mosaic Magic
A brilliant book! It has a range of projects from very simple, to more complex and caters for everyone from the novice to the more experienced mosaic artist.
Really good photos and step-by-step guides with templates in the back of the book to photocopy.
I'm looking forward to trying the projects in Angie's second book. In summary, an absolute must for anyone interested in making mosaics.

creative ideas
this is a great book, full of practical ideas to make for your house or garden. some would make nice gifts too. The instructions are very easy to follow and the materials very varied. Most projects can be made in a short-time. Each item can be custom-made to your own tastes and can be made bigger or smaller to suit your needs. Well worth buying.

Excellent book, clear explanations and inspiring projects
This book is easily read, has very clear explanations, good photography and designs which are inspiring.
For a beginner like me, it appears to provide enough detail to take up mosaic making as a hobby.
