I ordered this book through a book club which means that I had to rely on the description and the cover and it’s the cover and the focus on beaded bags that captured my attention. I wasn’t disappointed. This is a beautiful book with not only enticing projects, but photos and drawings that are clear and helpful. Much better than others I have looked at. There are even boxes with crochet and knitting abbreviations, and another for UK crochet hook sizes versus U.S.
