REVIEWS OF THE BOOK OF GOLD
"What a work of dedication writing this book was. It never ceases to amaze me how generous artists are. The author is truly committed and absolutely fastidious".
"The true authority on the subject. Accurate information in a simplified, yet rich and comprehensive form. No imitation here. This is the best instruction available anywhere on this subject, next to training in person with a master of the craft".
