I recently bought Creative Stonesetting by John Cogswell - looks like a fab book. I have studied only the Bezel settings chapter so far but it is clearly written, seems to cover every possible variation and also talks a lot about trouble shooting and dealing with mistakes. Also his choices for his way of doing things seem to be well explained and justified, which I like, because, the 'we do it this way and that's that' attitde drives me nuts!
I recently bought this one too, looks brilliant although not done much more than flick through it as of yet. It's more exoensive but you get A LOT of book for your money!
