Pepetools is pleased to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this important book by releasing it in a new and updated edition. This revised edition replaces the previous book (blue cover) that is no longer available.

Fans of Jean Stark will be pleased to know that every word and every drawing from the 1999 book has been retained. For this modern edition each of the 350 illustrations has been rendered in color and the layout of the text has been redesigned to bring clarity to the step-by-step instructions.

As a further benefit, this edition contains color photographs of many finished pieces by the author, most never before seen in print. With all this, it is hard to believe that the price is still what it was two decades ago.

Riley L. ★★★★★

I've been struggling with loop-in-loop chains for months, and the step-by-step photos in this revised edition finally made the weave click for me. The section on fusing and soldering the loops is worth the price alone.

Grace U. ★★★★★

The updated edition of this book finally fixed the blurry photos that made the older blue-cover version so frustrating to follow. I worked through the loop-in-loop basics in a weekend and the step-by-step diagrams actually made sense without having to guess at the overlaps.

Zoe V. ★★★★☆

The updated photos of each chain pattern finally made the weave steps click for me, way clearer than the older blue edition I borrowed years ago. Wish the wire gauge charts were a bit bigger, but the spiral section alone was worth it.
