Scott gives a wonderful reference book here, replete with beautiful close-up color photos of the work and inspiration gallery, as well as in-depth instructions on how to create unique jewelry pieces. This is a great text for not only its instruction, but it gives a complete and nearly total technical guide on how to create the perfect jump ring, inside and outside diameters, the types of metals and what to expect from them, conversion charts and product references, and what to look for (and ask for) in a purchased jump ring.
This is a good book for any beginner, it gives good instructions on the various patterns of chainmaille, and how to achieve the different types of link units in a step-by-step manner......I consider it a very good foundational book on this art. Having done some chainmaille designing for a while now, I do think there could be some further modifications to Scott's techniques, but for initial study, this is a fabulous book. As a matter of fact, once one learns what Scott teaches, I think some of those changes will be self-evident after a while.
His book is very inspirational as well as thoroughly instructional, I don't think anyone would be unhappy with this book, it's one of my handy references as well, when I am not inclined to "do the math" for the rings' dimensions and quantities, etc. A keeper, great, clear color photos and totally complete, understandable instructions, you won't sit there groaning with a mess of rings in front of you, you will enjoy the process the way he teaches it......you will also learn what tools work the best too......:)
