Easy Beading Volume 5 by the people behind BeadStyle magazine have done it again. They have gathered a great collection of some of the best projects from one year in their magazine. The projects are usually geared toward the beginner, but I think there is something for every skill level here. Also there are a variety of different bead types and techniques represented, so a beader is bound to find something that will get their spark their creativity. (I have been buying this book series from my local craft store when I can and have found that if I get stuck in what to do with a bead I love I can usually find inspiration in these pages).

A great series of books for the beginning beader with clear instructions and wonderful color photographs. Also, most projects include a alternative design option to the current project on the page. This might include using different colors, types of beads or a variation in layout.

Good stuff.
