IMPORTANT NOTICE: THE MASTERPIECE BOOK PROJECT IS CURRENTLY ON HOLD. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 27 PAGES OF PHOTOS FROM AN OHIO PHOTOGRAPHER SINCE EARLY SEPTEMBER. HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE THE PHOTOS TO ME BECAUSE HIS WIFE IS FIGHTING CANCER. I ASK EVERYONE TO BE PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING IN THIS VERY DIFFICULT MATTER. I CANNOT AND WILL NOT PUBLISH THE BOOK UNTIL I RECEIVE THE PHOTOS. THE FLINT RIDGE MATERIAL PHOTOS ARE A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE BOOK PROJECT AND INCLUDE A LOT OF POINTS MADE BY ARTIST ROY MILLER. - TJ -
My original goal was to introduce this book by mid December 2010 as a Special Spiral Bound copy. Participation in the book by both collectors and artists is by invitation only. Many of my customers requested that I also print a Limited Edition hard cover version as well. Not only did I agree to do this but I also expanded the number of pages in the book. All of this requires extra time. The printers need a minimum of an additional 30 days just to do the hard cover version. Approximately half of the collectors and artists have asked for more time to provide me with either their artwork or pictures that are approved for publication.
As per their requests the new introduction date will be mid March 2011. The book will be introduced at the Collinsville, Illinois Indian Relic Show in late March 2011. The Spiral Bound version will sell for $110.00 and that includes priority shipping and insurance. The Limited Edition hard cover book will sell for $150.00 and that includes priority shipping and insurance. Both books can be purchased for $250.00 and that also includes priority shipping and insurance. There will be 125 signed and numbered copies of each book printed. The book will feature some of the most collectable points in the country and will also feature a price guide for those collectors and artists who agree to participate.
The new deadline to pay for pages which are $100.00 each is October 15, 2010.
Then new deadline to receive points for photography or approved pictures is November 1, 2010.
The new deadline to turn everything over to the printers is December 15, 2010. After that deadline it requires 90 days to get both completed versions of the book.
You can order your copy today by sending your check payable to the Lithic Artists Guild, PO Box 63, Pella, Iowa 50219. If you have any further questions please call TJ at (641) 625 - 4180.
