This is the best beginner's guide I have come across so far. As a jewelry making instructor, I would definitely recommend this book to beginners. For a full review, check http://www.beadinggem.com/2010/05/book-review-absolute-beginners-guide.html

Simple designs that most beginners should be able to do. Some innovative designs are included like the pearl scrunchie bracelet using elastic thread and the chain drape pendant using donut beads.Otherwise the project designs are not that outstanding.
