As my first book, this one will always have a special place in my heart. I've had the pleasure of so many beaders telling me how much they love this book, and that means so much to me. If you love all things sparkly, this is a great book to own, considering that it is packed with tons of designs with alternate versions.
I'm told Crystal Brilliance will become available as a digital version through Barnes&Nobel soon, so I'll post that information when it comes available. Otherwise look for it at your local bead store (support your local bead stores :) or check out the Kalmbach store. You can also find it at Amazon and Barnes&Nobel.
I've only had any negative comments about the photography in this book because the lead shots are on black, and are more artistic in nature. The photos are beautiful, but some complaints about missing the details have been made. All I can say to that is that the projects or alternate versions of each project are also photographed on a white background and easy to see within each project layout. Overall, the lead photos have not caused beaders any problems when working on the projects or hidering the ability to complete them. As always, please feel free to contact me with any quesitons or concerns by clicking on the Ask Anna tab in the navagation bar. I'm happy to help, and your feedback is very helpful to me as I continue to create books!
