Wire Wrapping: The Basics and Beyond 20 reviews
Jim McIntosh
CreateSpace, 2007
The BEST book yet, and I have spent $$$$; the ONE to start with.
This is the first book I have found that REALLY shows you everything you need to do, step-by-step, and requires only a couple of types of wire and truly minimal tools.
I have spent thousands of dollars (not an exaggeration) trying to "get it" as far as wire wrapping. I have an online shop and although my main focus is faceted gemstones, I love the look of wire wrapping and carry intaglios and ...

Diamond Quilts and Beyond: From the Basics to Dazzling Designs6 reviews
Jan Krentz
C&T Publishing, 2005
As much a Reference Book as a Project Book!
The Diammond Quilts & Beyond book has so much information that I've already re-read it three times. The project directions are well written and thorough. But the concept really inspires me to design an original diamond quilt - the "Beyond" in the title!

Perfect Skype book
Skype Me! is the perfect introduction to Skype for users of all skill levels. It could serve as an example of how to write a product-centric book that delivers real value. The text is well written, clear, and focused. The material becomes progressively complex as the reader moves from learning about Skype, to installing it, to using it, to extending it into areas I hadn't previously ...

Beyond the Blame Game: Creating Compassion and Ending the Sex War in Your Life (The Ultimate Beginner Series ...4 reviews
Dmitri Bilgere
MPC Press, 1997
"Men aren't from Mars, Women aren't from Venus"
is what this book should be called. I really feel closer to women having read this, I realize now how much more alike we really are, even though we sometimes see the world differently. The author is clear, has depth, and really makes a lot of sense about bringing men and women together in a world of books that make men and women seem like strangers from different worlds.

Beyond the Basics: Mosaics (Beyond the Basics (Sterling Publishing))4 reviews
Elizabeth DuVal
Sterling/Chapelle, 2006
Wonderful!
I love this book! It contains many gorgeous pique assiette (recycled broken china) projects, as well as some using seashells. Best of all, the projects are beautiful but not overwhelming (i.e., a beginner should be able to master them), and they shouldn't take anywhere near as much time or money as most projects would, yet you'd be proud to give or display them.

I started thumbing through it when I got home and could not put it down because with each page, all of the questions I had about this terrifying disease were being answered. I wound up reading it from cover to cover in two days.
The real-life stories from women and men who discuss their ...
