Very thorough handbook for Native American beadwork.
If you are interested in traditional Native American beadwork you won't find a better book than this one for making your work as close to traditional as possible. Georg goes into exhaustive detail on what materials to use, where to get them and the exact methods used by traditional Native American beadworkers. He has researched the subject thoroughly and has a very respectful attitude. This book is truly a labor of love

If you buy one book to tell you how...buy this
In Europe, people dress up in buckskins, hang out in tipis and emulate the Native Americans of days gone more than a century and a half ago. Their attention to detail seems to be no less than compulsive, and this book is an ultimate product of this compulsion for authenticity, accuracy and completeness.

Barth has completed an instructional masterpiece of Native American Bead work that I give to experienced Native beaders to their astonishment. If you want to learn technique, buy this book.

excellent source
I found the book to be one of the best sources of information pertaining the native- american -style beading, espeacially the transmontane beadwork. I have found there several hints and pieces of information I was looking for for several years. Thank you, Mr. Barth.
