CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great info not so great photos - 
I really would have liked this book so much better if the photos were in color or if not, at least have them clear enough to be able to follow the steps so that you can practice the projects. I may be a stickler here but it really annoys me when a book has several typo's in it. I however don't agree with the author that you should practice on Sterling Silver wire. Unless of course you are made of money and don't mind throwing money out the window. There are sites such as Brandywine Jewelry Supply that can supply you with copper or brass which is cheaper than Sterling and you don't have to worry as much if you should mess up. The reason I am giving it three stars is because it is chocked full of helpful information. Some of it is helpful and others would have been more helpful if you can make out the pictures.

WIRE WRAPPING: THE BASICS AND BEYOND -
This book is well and clearly written. It has much good information for the beginner. It has many good ideas for the experienced wrapper. The illustrations are clear. The steps are orderly and well placed. It is most valuable aid.
The one thing I was a bit disappointed about was the lack of at least two pages of color photo gallery. Something like that in the middle of the book would have made my day.
Nonetheless, 5 stars for Mr. McIntosh.
I highly recommend this book for beginners or anyone trying to refine their technique.

Basic Wire Wrapping -
This book is very informative. I was just starting out in wire wrapping and used this book to begin with. I went through all of the projects, using brass wire to pratice with. I also ordered "Jewelry School" from [...] and found it easier to follow. I would recommend this book for a beginner, although it's easier for me to learn by watching (dvd) rather than reading.
Basic? Not this book -
Bought this book because the word BASIC is in the title. There is NOTHING at all basic about this book. It starts right off for the first instruction to make pendants. Not one word about basic wire wrapping! If you want to make fancy jewelry, this is the book, should be called FANCY wirewrapping with ADVANCED techniques. Not one word about how to actually make even a wire link for a necklace or bracelet. Not one word. Now making a wire wrap link is basic. Wonder where on earth I can find a book for the beginning very basic of most basic wire wrapping? Anyone know?
I just wasted about 30$ on this advanced book.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Awesome!!! -
While this book is a bit more pricey I am so very glad I got it! I have been working with square wire making bracelets and wanted to branch out into making pendants with cabochons - this book walks you through measuring the correct lengths of wire, gives good basic knowledge about wire, tools etc, and the authors humor and wit make it less methodical than some books I have seen. I had no trouble following the instructions and pictures. I would definately recommend this book to anyone - a fantastic must have for anyones wirework library!
