This author seems to subscribe to the "more is better" philosophy except when it comes to instructions. In the "Techniques" section at the front of the book, she will say something like, "work 1 sc with beads", although the instructions in the projects are somewhat better. There are good explanations for the basic crochet stitches that are used in the projects, but when it comes to where and when to add the beads, she is less clear. The projects look as though they would appeal to those who like the new "freeform" crochet--there are masses of beads of every size, shape and color. Not at all to my taste.
