haven't had a moment yet to read the text but already i can say this is presented in a most efficient format for collectors in particular - with a succession of straightforward and extremely clear images of sample cards, and examples of beads in the bunches as they were sold- no interference from some photographer or art editor trying to be "fancy' or " arty".. so beads and bead types are shown as they actually are, which may be possible to search at least visually.

anyone who wants to describe and catalogue their own collection can learn from this by example at the very least. there will only be time in the next week or so to start reading the information... but i'm excited to see it's going to be fun...
