Each year, I like to share a list of books with you that I think are really the top picks from all the books published in this past year. I still think that many of the books from prior years' lists are good too, and if you'd like to see them, they are linked at the bottom of this post. Also, I keep running lists of all the books that pertain to specific topics and media, like wirework, bead embroidery, etc, all linked up at the Books tab at the top of every page. And finally, if you are looking for all of the bead and jewelry books published this past year, just scroll down to the bottom of the linked page and you'll find them all listed by month.
