BEADREADER Part 1
Anita Li
This is Part 1 of the BEADREADER. This FAQ on books, magazines, videos and
craft books mail order sources related to beads is created and maintained
by Anita Li Reinehr for the newsgroup rec.crafts.beads. All prices quoted
are estimates in U.S. dollars. Actual price may vary. A lot of the
titles and information are obtained from ads & reviews in Ornament, Bead &
Button and Lapidary Journal and from catalogs. Please send all updates,
corrections and additions to 'a...@albemarle.aero.org'. Suggestions on
organization of the FAQ are also welcomed.
The FAQ is organized into the following sections:
1. BOOKS (PART 1 A-B, PART 2 C-K, PART 3 L-Z)
2. MAGAZINES (PART 4)
3. VIDEOS (PART 4)
4. BUSINESS (PART 4)
5. CRAFT BOOKS/VIDEOS MAIL ORDER CATALOGS (PART 4)
6. OTHERS (not directly on beads, but can be used as reference) (PART 5)
7. BOOK REVIEWS (PART 6)
8. PUBLISHER'S ADDRESSES & PHONES (PART 7)
9. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT (PART 7)
Currently, all listings in each section is done by alphabetical
order according to the title. If there are expressed desires to
have the BOOKS section broken into categories by subject, I need
input on subject headings. Also, to help make title search a
little easier in the book section, XXXXXX (where X is the alphabet)
is used to mark the beginning of a new alphabet.
