This book contained a lot of the same information as their earlier book. That said, it is well-written and full of gorgeous photos of beads and beadwork from around the world. There is more info on bead history than usual in beading books and less on technique, although there are still projects included. As an advanced beader, I found the information about beads more compelling than the projects, though, and this would not be a good book for getting the beginning beader started because it isn't thorough enough.
Tues. I have bought about a dozen books about beads and beading and this one is the best of the lot. I was impressed. I recommend it to others.
