Not marketing but selling.......2005-12-19

This book is not about marketing strategies but instead a classic book about selling and prospecting. One marketing lesson to be learned though: Newer use false declarations and dont lie about your product.

101 Marketing Strategies for Accounting, Law, Consulting, and Professional Services Firms.......2005-07-19

Waste of my money

The book explores some aspects of lawyer marketing but the treatment is superficial at best. Sorry, but I did not find this book helpful

Book Description

No wonder beading is so popular! It's easy to learn and creating beautiful, personalized accessories is a very satisfying experience. Our newest author, Nola May, believes that beaded earrings frame a face like a picture and highlight the personality within without saying a word. Eagle's View is delighted to present Nola's collection of Comanche Weave (or Brick Stitch) and Lace earring designs, whose color combinations are inspired by mother nature herself. Here are the pinks, purples and blues of sweet peas; the yellows, golds, creams, rusts, and burgundy tones of chrysanthemums; and the reds, oranges and golds of maple trees in fall. Aimed at beginning and intermediate beaders, this 96 page book has 52 new and exciting beaded earring designs and eight color plates, which are sure to stimulate the creativity of advanced beaders as well. As in all Eagle's View books, Classic Earring Designs contains complete, easy-to-follow instructions and plenty of illustrations. The book begins with a listing and brief explanation of the materials needed for beading, followed by a section of general instructions useful for making any beaded earring design. This is followed by basic instructions for Comanche Weave Earrings with illustrations and four bead-by-bead patterns for basic Comanche Weave designs. Directions and line drawings for creating several Variations on the basic Comanche Weave follow. These include Bugle Bead Tops (with six patterns), Bugle and Seed Bead Combinations (with 19 patterns), Seed Bead Base Rows (with ten patterns), Tube Earrings (with three patterns), Stars (with three patterns) and Diamonds (with four patterns). The last section contains illustrated instructions for making Round and Rectangular Lace Earrings with three pattern designs.

All of the sections feature wonderful new designs and color combinations as well as the use of many different accent beads in the fringe. 41 of the designs are pictured, 35 of them in full color. This book provides a great way to learn the craft of beading and the wealth of designs make it one that every crafter will want to own and use over and over again. 200 illustrations; 167 photographs; 4 pages in full color.

Customer Reviews:

Perhaps for beginning beaders..........2007-07-29

Most of the designs are rather dated, giving me 70's flashbacks, and the earrings, pictured without ear wires, are quite long on their own. With the extra length of a French hook, for example, they'd be a bit much for every day wear. Most of the color plates (just a few pages) had a distinct Native American air to them, as well.

Not a book I'd buy again, but not worth sending back, either.

Classic Earring Designs.......2007-04-10

This was one of the first books that I had when I first began to bead. I loved it, and every design that I have made causes comments from others- The directions are clear and consise. I lost the book sometime back, and missed it so much I ordered it again. I think that this book should be in your library, whether you have only a few or many books of this type.

Very good earring beading book........2003-03-31

I have used a number of beading books on earrings and this is my favorite. I have to buy another one because of giving it to a freind and recommending it others. It has clear instructions to get you started and has lots of nice designs and good ideas to help you create beautiful earrings with bugle beads and seed beads. The best book on seed bead earrings I have seen.
Thank you, Nola May!

Great Designs.......2000-10-24

The Classic Earring Designs it a great find. It has lots of patterns with beautiful colors and illustrations. The patterns are easy to follow. Her use of color is inspiring. This book has easy to follow instructions for the beginner too. I recommend this book to all beaders to be added to their library.

Book Description

"The virtues of Newell's book lie in its sustained and comprehensive analysis of economic theory and policy over almost two centuries. In its quiet, understated, and extremely well-researched and well-argued way, this book will generate a considerable controversy in the field of early American economic history."--John Brooke, Tufts University

In a sweeping synthesis of a crucial period of American history, From Dependency to Independence starts with the "problem" of New England's economic development. As a struggling outpost of a powerful commercial empire, colonial New England grappled with problems familiar to modern developing societies: a lack of capital and managerial skills, a nonexistent infrastructure, and a domestic economy that failed to meet the inhabitants' needs or to generate exports. Yet, less than a century and a half later, New England staged the war for political independence and the industrial revolution. How and why did this transformation occur? Marshaling an enormous array of research data, Margaret Ellen Newell demonstrates that colonial New England's economic development and its leadership role in these two American revolutions were interrelated.
