This is by far the most helpful wire-wrapping book I have ever seen. Reading the text is like taking lessons from a master-class instructor with a wicked sense of humor. So why not five stars? The fuzzy black-and-white photography. If I had been offered a choice I would have gladly spent more money on a volume with clear color photos; in fact, if such a text is ever offered I will buy it immediately and either sell or donate this copy. I hope the publisher makes such a volume available, because Wire Wrapping: The Basics and Beyond deserves better. (And while I'm wishing, I would like it even better if had clear color photos AND was spiral-bound!)

Great book for all levels of wrappers.

I highly recommend this book. There are pictures and instructions for each step which makes it easy to understand. Provides many beautiful projects to try out from which you can develop your own creative designs.

Excellent book! Not only does he provide a solid grounding in the basics, but he also talks about design and how to come up with your own pieces.

Disappointed

The Kindle version is in full color, but when I bought the book, all the photos are in black and white. What a ripoff...

Good instructions with photos.

Mcintosh gave easy to see and understand instructions with his description to wire work. I been looking at many other expensive books and the pictures they show are terrible and hard to understand. Thank you Jim Mcintosh! I'm happy.
