BEADS -- the Journal of
the Society of Bead Researchers

Now BEADS 12/13 (2000-2001) available.

Beads is the foremost journal of bead research in the world. All articles are peer-reviewed, as are other scientific publications. That means that papers are read by experts in the field and revisions are made before they are published, insuring a high level of accuracy.

Since its beginning, Beads has been ably edited by Karlis Karklins, one of the leading bead researchers in the world. He has worked very hard to produce volumes that not only present the latest in bead research but are also visually stunning.

Circumstances beyond Karklins' control slowed the production of the annual volumes. He has now gotten the publication back on track by issuing double volumes. He has also reissued the first volumes, which had gone out of print. This makes the full complement of Beads available now.
