Missing the craft kit

I purchased this book at 14.99 because I thought the craft kit was included. I feel that the price should be lower if the craft kit is not included.

Excellent book for those who loves handcrafts

People who love doing unique and exotic handicrafts will find this book terrific. The art of beading is described from the simplest to the most sophisticated ones. Beginners are given a step-by-step guidance: from the basic to the most complicated techniques in creating spectacular work of art; while learning about the beauty of this African art. This book will be a marvelous gift for people who like to keep themselves busy at home.
