Has anyone bought The Art of Royal Icing by Eddie Spence?

....and if so, was it worth the money and did you learn anything from it? I know that Mr Spence is supposed to be the king of RI but his book is awfully expensive when compared to other cake decorating books. So is it worth it? Or if you do have it, along with other books, is there one that you would recommend instead? Thanks in advance for any help.

This is the best book for royal icing work.Lots of templates in the back, and contemporary designs unlike any other books.

You get a decent discount from amazon plus free shipping.

Yes and I love it! 

 

Although I don't do royal icing work very often because many of my clients are allergic to eggs, I've learned a tremendous amount from this book.

 

I've gone through half of the lessons in the book and it has improved my piping skills tremendously. Especially the lessons on pressure piping. 

 

Unfortunately, I don't get to use these skills much, because most customers want a different style cake. However, I do refer to the book a few times a month. Additionally it is quite a beautiful book and I flip through the pages a lot looking at his amazing work.

Love this book.  Worth every penny.  Definitely recommend it.  You will learn basic piping to advanced techniques.  There are lessons to follow and templates to use.  I used it learn some oriental string work, bridge work and much more.
