5.0 out of 5 stars
another great shire volume, August 30, 2005
This review is from: Beadwork (Shire Library) (Paperback)
i have several of the booklets in the shire series, and all are fascinating. most of the titles i have are entirely or primarily concerned with british history.
these are not heavy tomes. i think the best description is 'overview.' still, the various authors manage to included a remarkable amount of information in each volume.
the information in this volume was interesting to me, even though i own many larger beading books that include history. there are many photos in this booklet, but, disappointingly, most are black and white--but they are still informative and useful for designing.
i would recommend this book to beginning or advanced beaders, and to those interested in british craft and social history. this and the other titles are worth seeking out.
