This is a nice starter book for those interested in beading. Even though I've been beading and designing jewelry for a few years now I still found some very helpful tips and tricks.

Good tool and bead type information. Clear photos and good basic instructions. Later in the book, some step instructions aren't clear, which isn't good for a beginner.

This is a short little book, a pamphlet really, that would be good for a true beginner. To go any further one would need a more in-depth reference. Tools, materials, and techniques are all just very lightly touched on.
