Review
A lot of stringing books only have words for their projects , so we liked the fact that this one had lots of illustrations. We felt it might be a good choice for a complete beginner. It also has some basic wirework techniques so is a good all-rounder. --Bead Dec 07/Jan 08

The title says everything - this is a great little book to get you started stringing beads.
If you know nothing at all about the subject, after reading the lengthy detailed introduction you will have a good general knowledge of beads, tools, findings, stringing materials, knotting,etc.
It then covers all the basics, from a simple bead on a string, to multistranded necklaces and bracelets and if you have a creative enough mind then you could go on from this to designing your own jewellery.
As an introduction to the subject, this is perfect.

This is a great book for beginners. It is laid out in a very clear way with names, details and images of different beads, findings and beading techniques. Clear instructions are also given for several easy projects. Highly recommended for beginners and improvers as both a project and reference book.

Very disappointing
As someone new to making jewellery I was looking for a basic manual. This book is so simplistic however that it's less informative than half an hour browsing the internet. Read more

Excellent Book ! Just buy it.............
So many ideas in this book. Its very thorough and has got lots of excellent close up photos of the tools/ beads you will use and how all the techniques work. Worth every penny.

no projects, no levels of difficulty
This is useless as a beginner's book. It's just a list of techniques. It doesn't even say which of the techniques are easy and which are difficult. Read more

Stringing beads
An excellent book for those starting out on jewellery making. I borrowed it first from the library and then decided to buy as it will be a handy reference for some time.
