CLICK TO ORDER
Glenn's book is a thorough and interesting study of the faceting (cutting and polishing) of gemstones. Tools and technique used with diamond vary greatly from all of the other gemstones like Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, and Aquamarine, etc. The required processes are well described in the author's book and numerous old pictures are included. The book is a welcome sharing of faceting knowledge. This is a dramatic change from the centuries old way of withholding information and keeping secret the ways to improve the appearance of diamonds and colored gemstones. The author has been faceting colored gemstones for nearly fifty years, usually for entry in faceting competitions on a National or International level.

LUCK & TIMING
Aviation connected events in the author's life have shaped his strong opinion that Life for each of us is the result of the events that have come about by our own individual Luck and Timing. Many of the author's flying experiences could have resulted in great injury or his death. The book has lots of interesting and informative aviation information for the reader to learn from and enjoy. Certainly any existing pilot, student pilot, or just someone who is even somewhat interested in aviation will enjoy reading about how light airplanes and their pilots went about doing things during the Great Depression years through World War II and up until recent time. Flying equipment and flying methods have greatly changed over all of those years. Glenn's collection of unique pictures add greatly to the interest as his flying events and adventures are told.
