I wanted this book for a long time, as the designs looked colorful, innovative, and fun. I rated the book based on quality of the instruction, the presentation/layout of the book, and the quality of the products. My only concern is that, evidently I waited too long, because the main material used, the fiber cord, does not appear to be available anymore. The resources listed in the book don’t carry it, and a Google search didn’t turn anything up, either. If you are planning to buy the book, I would suggest securing a source for this material first. If you have any luck, please share what you find out! In fairness, the designs could inspire riffs into other craft applications. That’s why I still gave the book high marks, and didn’t mark down for this difficulty- not the author’s fault.Update: I contacted the author’s business, and heard back the very next day. He suggested an Etsy shop, “LRP Jewelry Box, for the cord. They call it “Tribal/Ethnic Stitched Fabric Cord,” and it is gorgeous! I’m going to order a bunch. Thank you, Nealay!
