BEADREADER Pt2 (Beading books/mags/videos & more)
Anita Li
This is Part 2 of the BEAD READER. 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)
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.

"About beadwork I'm fearless, even valiant," begins this instructional manual
by multi talented performance artist and bead worker, Joyce Scott. Styled in
comic book format, drawings, callighaphy, and photogaphs describe the
techniques of mastering diagonal weaving/peyote stitch, husband, wife, and
slut beads. More than a how-to book, Fearless Beadwork is a glimpse into the
work and life of the exuberant Scott. --Ruth Satterlee
" Warning: Because the book is in comic-book style, hand-drawn and
hand-lettered with very few photos, it's not the world's easiest
teaching tool. But for someone who's got basic peyote stitch down, it
is an *asTOUNding!!* inspiration and kick in the butt. " --Jo Falcon

A Handbook of Bead Materials
Peter Francis Jr
"Essential for bead identification and appreciation, this compact volume
is packed with information. After outlining several basic ways to
determine bead materials, Francis specifies appropriate tests throughout
the book. One section discusses the manufacture of glass, and describes
small-scale, industrial and mechanized glass beadmaking processes. Others
cover stones used for beads, precious and base metals and their alloys,
and various forms of clay. The longest section deals with bone, amber,
coral, shell, and other organiz materials. Two shorter sections cover the
often overlooked categories of plastic and faience. A bibliography
completes the handbook"--Bead Zip
