Book has beautiful pictures. But, if you are a beginner, you will be very disappointed in this book. The author assumes that the reader already knows the basics of crocheting. What few instructions there are are very unclear. It's ok if you already know how to bead crochet, some of the projects are lovely. Most of them have Ms. Barry's overdeveloped color sense. There are better books out there.
