October 14, 2009: If you already know wirework as well as stitching and beading then you may enjoy this book. If you like to only have a picture to follow and guess what you need to do to obtain the same results then this book may work for you. The "how to's" are short with little detail and at the front of the book. The pictures and instructions are in the back and very hard to follow, especially if you are new to the craft. I personally like a step by step with a picture of each step so I am not guessing when it says to "wrap wire around bead" but in the picture there is no bead with a wire wrapped around it. Mostly this book is a gallery of designs for people who like to see new ideas and then change the ideas to personal preference. If you are new to the craft or want to see better instructions I would suggest Wire Wrapping. I would not recommend this book and wish I had saved my money.

May 23, 2009: I found this book via a friend. I would recommend it to inspire you to grab your pliers and beads. I liked this book and continue to reference to it for certain things. Good basics.
