Nice layout of patterns. More than 60 choices to do. I find the directions easy to understand. Although the designs maybe for more intermediate to Advanced beaders. There are some beading patterns for beginners. I own the whole 14 volume set and love the books. I have made beading projects from all the volumes. The projects came out beautiful. Each pattern has a list of supplies that are specific to the design, more advanced beaders can manipulate the colors, and type of beads to make a different palette for the design. I use beads from my own stash if I can before I purchase the beads of the colors printed. The pattern may show browns in size 4mm, you can change the color as long as you use the correct size, caution with changing shape it may cause the other beads to not fit the pattern. As with any beading book not all designs will suit your preference but you can change how you 'develop' a design. Once i made a necklace using beaded balls from one pattern and added them to another design. The ideas can be endless once you have a starting pattern. If you understand the metric system, you can visualize how the beads measure out in a pattern to manipulate the length. I love these books , iget so many ideas and made really beautiful gifts( dont forget to measure the size you want before you begin! If you follow beading designers, they have many of them.

I would recommend the Creative Beading book to experience beaders. The instructions on the patterns are clear and precise.
