Summary: Gorgeous!
Review: A lovely and inspiring book

Summary: Very helpful
Review: As someone who has been loom beading since the age of 5, I look at beading books very skeptically. I found NEW techniques in this book. This book is well written, well diagramed and useful to beginning and experienced loom beaders. It is well worth the purchase.
Rating: 
Summary: NOT for a beginner
Review: There are no simple projects here. From the outset, the book will discourage the beginner with the complexity of the 17th-20th century beaded items shown, although I enjoyed studying the photos of complicated beadwork on European purses, African Masai, Seneca, Winnebago, and other Native American pieces. Don's projects, in spite of detailed instructions, are going to require a lot of effort, even from an expert. There is plenty of inspiration from the 37-page gallery at the book's end. If you are intent on tackling loom weaving at its most complex, here is your book.

Summary: Beading on a Loom
Review: This is a nice book with great pictures. However, I think it is important to note that if you are searching for a beginner's how to loom book, this might not be a good starting point. The author does include many patterns and some lovely photos of exquisite loomwork, but the patterns are for folks who have some loom experience behind them.

Summary: Calling All Designers
Review: This is not a beginner's looming book, nor is it a pattern book. It is a book that will help you understand the history of loomed beading, how to do it, and how to design your own patterns.I recommend this book for beaders who are experienced with looming and want to expand their horizons, because it will do that. I will admit tho, I think this book is worth it for the eye candy alone!
