Encyclopedia of Polymer Clay Techniques
This book covers just about everything you ever wanted to know about polymer clay and how to use it. It's not just about jewellery but covers topics such as mosaics, sculptures and the brilliant versatility of polymer clay in so many areas.

Great beginner's resource
This is a very thorough book including many different applications for polymer clay as well as tools, techniques, etc. As an experienced clayer, I did not find anything new in this book and have seen much of what is covered in other books and on-line. However, if you are a starting out in the craft, it is a great resource to have.
