Summary: Not challenging AT ALL
Comment: I purchased this book after reading dozens of reviews, saying it was challenging and wonderful. This book is for small children, it's not challenging, and it only explains how to make 2 and 3 mirror scopes, it doesn't even explain the 4 and 5 mirrored scopes. Buying this book was a mistake, and it was a waste of money. This book was supposed to have informative and easy instruction to build complex scopes, I've never built one before, and just glancing at the pages, im grossed out. The bulk of each instruction is about how to decorate the scope, the only challenge is to add stained glass, or make a wheel. My advice to any serious student is to not purchase this, keep looking for something that is more about kaleidoscopes, and less about who makes the prettiest kaleidoscope and how to make the best scopes. That's a basic summary of this kindergarden level book. I would give it no stars, but I can only go as low as 1! This book is a joke, stay away!!!!

Summary: Very informative book
Comment: I have been making kaleidoscopes professionally for years prior to this book coming out. When I found it, I fell in love. It inspired new creations, yet also returned the excitement of simplicity of the designs. I recommend this book to anyone getting started in kaleidoscope making. Some of the references need to be ignored, butitis worth buying. Nice, easy to read, good images, instructions are easy to follow. One of my top two picks in books on kaleidoscopes (I think I should know cause my library of kaleidoscopes books is now at 15).

Summary: Great job
Comment: I'm new in this art, but this book is very good to beginners like me, it teaches the secrets of the mirrors, so i can build my own designs. many pictures and well designs
