Can't Be Beat
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I bought this book a number of years ago and it has always been my favorite. After seeing some little beaded Indian men and women on necklaces in a craft store in Cherokee, NC, I wanted to learn to make some. Goodhue's book is the only book I have come across which has instructions for the little dolls (although I don't think he has a picture of them). The only thing that would make the book better is some larger, color pictures of finished products, but at least you can't beat the hand-drawn diagrams for bead placement and thread direction. I had never made a decent looking daisy-chain until I came across it!
An excellent beadwork book

This book was the first book on beadwork that I purchased and I still come back to it. It has an amazing collection of different techniques many of which have been further developed in other books. There are some superb black and white photographs illustrating the patterns but it can be difficult to work out which illustration in the photographs is referring to which pattern. However the black and white typed illustrations (remember this book was written in the days before most people had computers) work well and the accompanying text gives clear instructions for each pattern in the book. This is one that will remain a treasure on my beadwork bookshelf for many years to come.
best bead book ever!

I got this book for my kids about 5 years ago and they have become real professionals now and are still beading at 17 and 19. We haven't found a better one yet. This is a great bock to start with

This book is essential for all beaders at any level, including beginners. The directions are easy to follow and include illustrations. Lots of great stitches and patterns. A book you will refer back to again and again.
