    I don't own too many polymer clay books but accumulated a few as a b-day present and Christmas gift from my dear hubby this past year. I happen to have five of the 7 you show and love them all. The bead book by Carol Blackburn is probably my favorite, then the Donna Kato ones next.

    The Carol Blackburn book is endlessly inspiring - the Donnna Kato ones too are incredibly technically helpful. I love the work in one with the blue flower on the cover. I love Grant Diffendaffer's book too, as a jumping off point - not actually to make beads like his, but to stimulate new ways of working with polymer. Have yet to work through Colour Inspirations...

    Have fun with your stash!

    Ooh - Santa was good to you! I agree with 2GC and Claire - the Blackburn is a fantastic jumping-off point. Looks like a busy 2011!

    I don't buy many but for me the best ones are the ones I can allways find something each time I go and look for inspiration.
    So my fav is the bead book, then color inspirations ( I am allways discovering something with this book)
    Kato both not as much as I thought. The others to look at not to own.
