Beading with Cabochons: Simple Techniques for Beautiful Jewelry
$24.95
I searched every bead store I went to looking for information about beading around cabochons. I came across this book about three months ago. It's very detailed and great for the beginner. I'm very pleased with the book - it should be in every beginner seed beader's library. Even those of you who've been beading for a while, should check this book out. It has wonderful, colorful graphics, and easy steps to follow. Since I got this book, I've beaded around 30 cabochons!

Get Started Beading (Best of Bead & Button Magazine)
$19.95
I am brand new to beading, and self-taught, to boot. This book has a wide variety of projects that are beading basics. But it's not very specific or thorough with instructions. I am having to figure many things out, when I would prefer a diagram or detailed instructions. Nice photos of completed pieces.
