OK there are some great projects but you need to search the book. It does offer a large number of projects but some are rather too simple and the more complicated ones could be given with more detailed photos. I found some rather puzzling to make. I think that some books from the series are more interesting. If you are new to the world of beaders and jewell making, it may be an interesting start point but intricate designs are not easy.

I already have a couple of this series, this part Volume 5 is a great asset to every beader out there. It has something for the beginners as well as for the more advanced hobby beaders. I highly recommend this book. I have found it very inspiring that you can read about more techniques, more variations, different styles. Everybody will find an interesting project in this book.

Gorgeous production, great reference book
7 July 2010
I just received my book in the mail and it is absolutely gorgeous!
Every page is big and filled with brightly colored, sharply focused photos of jewelry projects that will keep you busy for months if not years. You can choose from beading projects (stitching) using beads and buttons, or from wire-art jewelry projects, as well as other techniques.
Most of the jewelry designs are fairly complex in my opinion, but the publishers provided excellent photos, diagrams, and step-by-step instructions. There's also a section on tools & materials as well as basic techniques to get you started.
The book is in hardcover and printed in color on good quality paper, so it will make a great reference text. The actual jewelry projects are all reprinted from previous issues of Bead & Button magazine, so if you are a longtime subscriber you may not need this book. But, I still give the book five stars for its excellent production values and ease of use, and for the gorgeous jewelry projects within.
I also appreciate the honesty of Kalmbach Books, for they state right on the back cover that this book is "a year's worth of the best projects from Bead & Button magazine, collected in one sturdy volume." Not every publisher is this honest about reprints of articles in book form, so I give high marks to Kalmbach!
