I was expecting so much from this book and I have to say I got a little bit dissapointed.
It has a lot of projects, but must of them are made with thick yarn. and sometimes you cant actually apreciate the whole thing in the picture.
So I would have wanted to see the final proyect on diferent kind of yarns and treads, at least one thick and one thin.
Although it has very good ideas I would have wanted to see a small preview of all the projects in it.
Must of them are pieces of jewelry for people under 30 (great for teenagers)
A lot of the proyect are not weareable at all.

the book was exactly what I was looking for. I do not like using wire in crochet as I always seem to scratch myself with wire ends. This is great - I have made my own version of the necklace on the cover. Thanks

This book has a lot of nice, easy and fun projects to do with easy to follow instructions and photos where you can see all details.

Yes, there some wacky pieces of jewelry in this book, but there are some lovely things mixed in. For the price, this is a decent deal if you need a book like this. The skill level is spelled out for each pattern. There's usually two pictures for each piece, along with some diagrams when needed. The font is fairly easy to read. There are only a few pages of instruction on how to actually make the jewelry. This is NOT a how to book, but a pattern book. Though the patterns themselves are detailed enough to show you how to make the projects sufficiently. As for the patterns, I love the Ear Doilies, the Irish Crochet Collar, Garden Tapestry Choker, Delicate Silver Choker, Trellis Cuff, Gothic Rose Wristlet, and the Flowering Vine Earrings. Hope this helps!
