This book taught me techniques of jewelry-making with step-by-step photos & text, enabling me to repair some old earrings and understand how to construct better bracelets, less likely to break apart. Generally, I lack the patience to peruse YouTube for instructional videos and prefer the silence and speed of books. This was a good one.
