This book is printed entirely in GERMAN, so be aware. I don't read German so I cannot comment on the writting style, but the diagrams are well done. The book's dimensions are different as well. It's not the 8"x10" that we're accustomed to in the U.S. Instead it measures 5.5"x8" and contains 32 pages. Subjects include wizards, wraiths, dragons, phonixe, mermaids, griffins and several more. All creatures are created with wire and seedbeads in the "french style" of wire weaving. This contains some very good photography with many close-up shots. If you are beader who can work from photos and diagrams, as I am then the written instructions really won't be neccesary. I look foreward to purchasing more of Mr. Torsten Becker's work.
