The Handbook for Beading

I am a novice at jewelry making and found this book to have everything I need to know. It is exact with diagrams for assistance, where needed. My only problem was that I couldn't always find things from the index in the back, otherwise, WOW!

Great beginning bead book

I have used this book to teach myself how to bead! Excellent for someone interested in learning how to bead without taking tons of classes.

A great book for beginners

I always recommend this book to people who are starting out into beading. One of my first beading books ever and still one of my favorites. It has a great scope and I found it to be inspiring and educational.

Indispensable guide to beading techniques

The book contains projects with full instructions and illustrations, plentiful notes on basic and advanced techniques from simple head-pin earrings to strand-knotting to peyote stitch, and a generous selection of color photos. (Best of all, it's spiral-bound so it lies flat!) The author takes care to point out how basic techniques can be combined and varied once mastered; this book has something to teach both beginner and skilled craftsperson. Anyone who does beadwork, stringing, or beadweaving should have this book nearby. I pick it up more often than all my other beadwork books put together
