This excellent book on Bead Embroidery, published in 2001 is now out-of-print but I found this new copy.  Jane David is the author or several other books on beadwork including Decorative Wirework and A Beaders Reference.

The book teaches you 215 embroidery stitches, not all of them are suitable for needlepoint canvas however most of them are.  The illustrations of each stitch are shown on open weave canvas, like needlepoint canvas.

Each stitch has a photograph and an illustration,  The addition of beads is clearly shown and explained.

As well as instruction there are 20 projects for you to stitch.

Bead Embroidery: The Complete Guide is a hard cover book with a meatl spiral binding inside the covers.  I like books like this, they easily lay flat so you can see what you should be doing, as you do it.

Published in 2005 by KP Books in Iola, Wisconsin, this 8 X 7 inch book is perfect size for using anywhere.  It has256 pages.
