My book on bead collecting will soon be available!

"Beads- a history and collector's guide" -Stefany Tomalin.

i couldn't persuade the publisher to drop the word 'history' from the title because "it has to match their collectors series", however it is not a history. also the picture layout editing is less than brilliant- some images are far too small.

this image got left out of the edit- necklaces threaded by me of antique Mudlarked clay tobacco pipestem fragments, found near historic naval dockyards.- would have gone in the 'Found along the way' chapter...
i will let everyone know how the book can be purchased when i get through to the wholesalers tomorrow.-whether from me or from commercial suppliers only.

will post more details soon...
