Simple Soldered Jewelry & Accessories: A Crafter's Guide to Fashioning Necklaces, Earrings, Bracelets & More

by: Lisa Bluhm
This is a great step by step book for making soldered jewelry. It gives a list of all the items you will need to purchase right up front. And is crammed full of great ideas and examples. After my first attempt, I realize it is a bit harder than it looks in the book, but perhaps it just takes more practice.

This is a very informative book. Other books make it look too easy and it doesn't happen that way! This book says it like it really is.

Quality Hand Soldering and Circuit Board Repair

by: H. Ted Smith
I agree this book is for someone that has never soldered before. I guess I was looking for some more details about hot air and reflow soldering, which is barely talked about. Also, there are only about 6 photos in the entire book, which I thought was kind of cheap. Photos are very valuable to me, but the ones in this book are black and white, dark and not useful.
