If you are looking for a beautiful coffee table book, then this is the craft book for you. I enjoyed looking at the pictures. However, the instructions left a lot to be desired. There is one big picture of the end product on one page, and a lot of empty space on the opposite page. There are no step-by-step instructions. Therefore, I think this book was probably intended for someone that has experience making jewelry and can just look at the picture and make a project. I find that the whole "instant gratification" series is like this. I wouldn't recommend this book for new crafters, but it might appeal to others who can fill in the blanks with their own knowledge.
