So totally was he the master of this medium, his windows surpassed, in both quality and quantity, any that had preceded them. Yet today most Tiffany windows have never been seen by the public, and until now, no book on the subject has ever been published. Alastair Duncan has tracked down virtually every window still extant, has documented examples that have disappeared or been destroyed, and has provided magnificent photographs, the great majority of them taken specially for this book." . more information
