Don’t be fooled by the subtitle, “A Complete & Easy Step by Step Guide” because this is anything but. The book has no real information about making jewelry. It offers a lot of very general information (all available free on the internet) and a grossly oversimplified list of what to buy, with minimal information provided on various tools, supplies, and equipment. As for where to buy jewelry-making equipment, the author provides a pitch for eBay that I could have done without but doesn’t really suggest any other sources. I kept hoping it would get better, but it never did. Total waste of money and time. That’s what I get for not reading customer reviews.
