Lots of really helpful instructions for basic stringing techniques and other techniques you need to work with beads and string (like wire wrapping, peyote stitch, cord sizes and types, etc.) I really recommend this book for anyone starting out. It's much better than trying to remember which magazine had instructions for what technique.
