The title, Soldering Beyond the Basics, says it all! However, despite its being "Beyond the Basics", there is a full range of projects to address the beginning through the intermediate solderer. This is an exceptionally thorough book that presents techniques to build confidence and control, both in the preparatory information and in the beautiful and enticing projects. It is richly detailed and has excellent pictures to support the instructions. In a straightforward and encouraging manner, the step by step directions, tips, charts and safety instructions promote a growing understanding of how to create soldered jewelry with multiple metals. I highly recommend this book.

Very nice book, learned a lot and will buy again from this author.
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2017
Most of this book was a repeat of the first book. Some additional info.
If you are looking for a book on soldering, skip the first one and get this one. If you have the first one, this is hardly worth the money.

Mr. Silvera's book is as good as his videos, and that's saying a lot. He's a wonderful instructor. What I like most about his instructions and projects is that he answers questions and covers issues not dealt with in other books and videos on soldering. His projects provide solutions to problems that I have encountered but not known how to solve. I would buy anything by this author.

This book covers techniques specific to jewelry, which involves small torches. Guns and irons need not apply! Well written.
