1: Nice Variety of Designs
Moods in Wire : An Extended Guide to the Fine Art of Wirewrapping (2nd Ed)
I like the size of this book and like the layout. Sinclair give a good forewword with the usual basic tools and materials information then goes into the designs.
Others have commented on lack of ease reading the illustrations and I'm inclined to agree. The chapters cover rings, bracelets, earrings, pendants, stickpins, shark teeth, spider pins and crosses. I liked some of the designs, didn't care for others, but that is my taste and should not deter a customer from examining this book. I feel, however, that wire jewelry is as diverse as the individual who create it, and that should be the criteria for making the purchase. If openwork is your style, then this might be the book for you.

2: Moods in Wire
The layout of the book and pictures are not as good as other books I have purchased, though I do like the artist's wire wrapping designs a lot.

Detailed instructions accompanied by clear pictures aid the wire worker in moving from beginner to more advanced projects.

I don't care for this book. The instructions aren't very good in my opinion. I wish I hadn't bought it.

5: The most complete wire wrapping resource in my library!
Sinclair's book is a wonderful resource for the art of wire wrapping. It is convenient in several ways. The spiral binding lets the book stay opened to the page you want. The book is organized conveniently, too. Section One covers Basic Tools, Materials, Rings, Bracelets, Earrings, Pendants, Stickpins, Sharks' Teeth, Spider Pins/Webs, and Crosses. Section Two covers many of the same topics but with different examples. The book is probably not for those just starting out with wire; get a little experience before attempting these projects.
This book is not for those seeking eye candy. The line art drawings are clear but not pretty. The photographs are minimal and limited to the front cover and the first page of section two. The book is not pretty, but the jewelry you'll create from this will be!
