Customer Reviews

Excellent for the beginning collector

A lovely if simple book. I specialize in the beads of Gablonz and this book helped me gain more knowledge about beads from other areas. I am a long term bead collector and one thing I've discovered is that I always have much more to learn. This book has helped me make some wise purchases as well as to understand what I already had. Only drawback is that it's too short and could stand much more detail.
