Summary: great text lost in a poorly-designed book
Comment: I think the thing that amazes me the most about this book is how poorly designed and organized it is given the cost of the book. The illustrations look like they were scribbled on scraps of paper, the black and white photographs are dark and murky and the whole thing is laid out with only minimal organization which is really a shame because there is a great deal of very useful and comprehensive information here providing you can actually find what you are looking for -- the Table of Contents is at the ->back<- of the book under the heading "Index;" there is, needles to say, no index per se. Ms Conner should seriously consider either finding another publisher for her book or persuading her current publisher to hire both a graphic artist and an editor with experience in creating crafts books in the event that she writes a revised edition.

Summary: Indispensable guide to beading techniques
Comment: 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

Summary: The Handbook for Beading
Comment: 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!
