While most reviewers tout the excellence of this book for beginners, I have to say there's a lot for all beaders to gain from these pages! Those of us that have intermediate skills can learn some new techniques as well as try perfecting the standards we're already using. For advanced artists, even you may find some helpful hints within the pages! Purchasing this book is an affordable alternate to losing your work due to an ineffective knot or substandard technique. For those of us that are visual learners, those of us that learn by doing, and even those gifted enough to learn simply by reading the sentences, this book has it all. The plain language and clear illustrations are incredibly helpful. I learned more from this little book in a few hours than I did through trial and error throughout my first 2 years!Read full review
