This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Beading Techniques (Hardcover)
I can understand why there are so many used books! The Binding Is Poor and will soon fall apart, Just turning the first few pages showed me that.. Very Nice Color BUT very brief instructions On lots of different Beading techiniques. The first part on Tools and Materials is well done. This book is an introduction ONLY. The wire work part does get you started but leaves you wanting more. It gives a few pages to each techinque leaving you wondering what happened to the rest?

By Avid Crafter (India) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Beading Techniques (Hardcover)
I borrowed this book from the library in Hong Kong when I visited my sister last month and was really fascinated with all the pictures and instructions. I am a beginner beader and I found this book very informative with good step-by-step instructions. Anyone who is beading for the first time will benefit tremendously from this book.
