Customer Reviews

Very comprehensive and informative

I really devoured this book. The photographs show all the important types of older European beads beautifully, and the text was well researched and written. I was pleasantly surprised by maps explaining the whereabouts of the beadmakers, having lived in Germany.This book was written from a highly refined and educated passion.
