It is seldom that a weight is quoted in the specifications for a book, but with a portly 13.5Kg (27.9Lbs) the weight is exceptional, needing a sturdy coffee table.
It will leave a considerable dent in your bank balance too: €588.50 (within the EU) or €550 ($777 + Postage for outside the EU), the pricing seems a little topsy turvy (as the publisher is Germany based) maybe it a tax thing...
When I first heard about the book is was pitched as the definitive "bible" of contemporary jewellery makers, which I thought odd in a field which changes over time. So it's interesting (for me) to note that it now has "2008" as part of the title.
I was also very interested in how the project (to create the book), was managed.
Each artist who wanted to be in the book (as well as paying) had to nominate other artists who they thought should be in represented. A promotional model that has proven to work very well: maybe one the HCJ Project should employ?....
If you are interested in owning a copy head over to Darling Publications where you can place an order.
