Beading how-to books, in the past, have been difficult to locate and recent interest in beadwork and the various techniques have inspired many newcomers to this creative field. Although this booklet has an inviting cover it is poorly constructed in layout, copy and design. Schematics are poorly drawn pen/ink drawings with hand lettering which make reading the copy difficult. I would not recommend this to a beginner as it will frustrate the new beader and the booklet is too rudimentary in format for an intermediate or skilled beader. There are numerous beginner or guide to beading books available now. Skip this one altogether.

The description given excited me at the prospect of new patterns for beaded bags. Upon receiving the book and examining it, I was terribly disappointed at the content. The pictures and drawings were crudely done. For me, some of the work was actually ugly. I feel my money was wasted in purchasing this book.

Looks as if a child designed the book. go to the library FIRST! once you do you will not want to buy it. It has just a few pages to the entire book and very grade-school projects. I have many bead books and I would recommend ANY of them over this one.

This was my first introduction to beading bags and it is very useful - full of good ideas and helpful hints and clear diagrams - a good place to start.
