And you don't even get free shippping with either one. I suggest
getting the DVD from the SGAA for $15 or so. Or consider Peter McGrain's book/tapes/DVD's. Of course, most of the older books on sg technique have something to say about painting (Reyntiens, Devine & Blatchford, Whall, even Rothenberg, I think.) Sometimes, the Isenberg/Millard book comes up and that's not bad and is always much cheaper.

PS: I have no vested interest in the sale of these books. I never
mention a book if there is a bid on it already.

Gee...$124.00 is cheaper than i paid for it. It's a great book!

Thanks for posting Tod. I haven't ever bought from EBay. I'll move into the 20th century soon. I'll pop over and take a look.  Theresa

Peter McGrains DVD's are fantastic Tre..You can learn the basics of his method in no time flat.

[Tre V]

$40 isnt much for 3 hours of training..

[Kev]

Well worth it!

[Anne]

Kev, is this how you learn to paint like you do? I need to sell something so I can learn this!!

[Kev]

Yes Anne. I watched the DVD's and went for it.

I wonder if any actually sell at those prices? Also makes me wonder what the paperback copy he signed for me at the SGAA conference in Boston is worth now.
Like I'd ever sell it!

Over on the Stained Glass Forum, Dick Millard notes that Joe Porcelli (Glass Craftsman magazine) may have obtained the rights to republish the book which is a very good thing. -Tod

...and that's for paperback?.....you would not believe what came out of my mouth when I saw that!

[Rebecca]

WOW!  Maybe I should sell mine.
