“I got this, and it is awesome… worth EVERY penny… I looked at EVERY page …. I honestly could not be more thrilled …. The links are cool, I can see myself using every one of them, and I would make at least 1/2 of the projects! But since I bought this for the wire links rather than the projects, I am super thrilled with my purchase. Thanks for putting together such an awesome book that focuses on teaching me great new techniques to allow me to be creative in MY way! I would love to see a 2nd volume on the same premise as this one… and if you do write one… well, reserve me a copy… because I WILL want one!” ~S. F.
