Very thorough book about beading - the different types of techniques and the tools and tips you need to start.

Haha. I have a lot of nerve giving 5 stars to my own book. It is a very useful book, though.

This book was sent to me for review by the publisher.

Got a question about beading?
This book SERIOUSLY has the answers to just about ANY question you could ever have about beading, or any problem you could POSSIBLY run into while beading!

I am still not quite done reading all the way through it. I have to say: My head is spinning with all this information.

I am not a big beader to begin with, I dabble in it now and again, so my expertness is marginal to say the least. With this book at my side, I feel like a pro!

The size is great as well. Tiny enough, to fit in your work bag, but chock full of answers.

I am blown away. I love this book.

Definitely something to have around the house to keep your sanity!

This book is basically like a bead bible, in my opinion. It has every question answered that I've ever wanted to know about beading...and a ton more. Love it.

A great little book for beading beginners. When I finally made a bracelet and got stuck at one point, this book had the answer I needed. Now I have a beautiful piece of jewelry that I made myself! As I grow more proficient in this hobby, I am certain I will be referring to this book often. Recommended for beginners and experts alike.

Loved it!! A great little book with terrific answers to all of my beading quandries...and I really like the illustrations too. Sophisticated enough for an experienced beader, but still accessible to beginners like me.

Highly recommended. New beaders will also need a second book with step-by-step photographs of techniques.
