I did a search and couldn't find anything along these lines... My local library community had about 4 great lampworking books, including Flameworking : creating glass beads, sculptures & functional objects by Elizabeth Ryland Mears, which seems like the most relevant to my interests. People who are into cold working or fusing glass had an even greater number of books to draw from in my library community's case.
It was great to electronically hold these four books, ordering them from libraries 20 miles away, to have them delivered to my local, all within 48 hours. I had a rare, heartwarming feeling of my tax dollars actually doing something meaningful.
Anyone who is very much starting out like myself should definitely check out their local library and see what they have to offer. This forum is an absolute goldmine of information amounting to a huge number of libraries, but the value of a good book can't be downplayed when it's in your hand and was thoughtfully written.
