Cant wait to get it.

Been reading my new book American Engravers The 21st Century. I recommend it so many ideas and close up pictures.

Look if I can spend 150.00:eek:(and that price is because I preordered) for flowers, my wife should have no problem me ordering the dvd book set...:biggrin:

Carlos,
I'm glad to hear that you found American Engravers-The 21st Century worthwhile.

Jörmungandr,
It is really good to see my book on an engraver's shelf in Sweden! I know that the shipping to Europe is rather expensive.

Here are a couple of things that the folks here may want to know.
I have found that some people who have the book do not realize that there is a CD-ROM with additional material in an envelope bound into the back cover of the book. Originally, the publisher wanted the envelope to be a different color than the inside back cover but the printing company made it the same color so it is easily overlooked.
When we were in Las Vegas the head of Blue Book Publications told me they were down to the last few copies of the book. FEGA and a few other vendors may still have a few copies left but I expect the primary market to be empty in the very near future.

Cheers,
Roger

Roger i have your book too in my Library and i have to say that is one of the best book that i have see ever, i extremly reccomend it to all the people that no have it yet, is a must to have for all the engravers and collectors, is tru that for have it here in Europe is a bit more expensive for his weight but worth every cent that you have to spent for it!

I'd like to have Roland's book and no library is complete without Roger's book as well!

Hola desde España, soy joyero y estoy empezando con el gravado a mano.
Y no se si hay publicaciones de libros o dvd en español donde poder cojer
enseñanzas de los maestros que las escriben. Si saben de algunos y pueden
mostrarlos, gracias de antemano
