In the near future, I will be switching the book updates from this blog (which is really an artist call for submissions blog) to http://recycledglassanddesign.blogspot.com/
I will send everyone an email when this happens.

Estimated Publication Date
Hi All:
I understand the book is expected to be placed on the Fall 2011 schedule for publication. I think this is great for all of us since that puts us closer to the time people are thinking of holiday shopping and gifts. Again, this could change but this is the most current information. As I mentioned before, for almost any type of book, it is typically 12-18 months from the time the publisher has the book draft to publication.
When the book is 1-2 months from being available for purchase, you should receive an email from the publisher about the book being available for purchase (no obligation to buy of course). Only at that point do we all go into full promotion with specific book details (# photos, topics, # of artists, etc). If you have any questions prior to this time next fall, please continue to contact me and not the publisher. I am continuing to finalize the book over the next month so please continue to promptly provide any requested verifications of caption information or any other information needed.
I will try to see if I can send out the 100 or so word book press blurb in the Spring. You will receive a copy of the lengthier press announcement from me about 1-2 months prior to the book publication. As with any art opportunity, our role should not end (ideally) when the book is about to be published. In the meantime, please continue to promote the book and your work in it (see prior suggested guidance on not using more than one photo of your work and suggested citation for your resume). Please do not embellish beyond the information that has been provided at this point in time and please keep the information accurate. As some of you know, I have google alerts and I do find out about any "over zealousness" or inaccuracies on the book very quickly. :)
On a side note, I am in an upcoming book by Schiffer Publishing titled "Art Glass Today." It was edited by Jeffrey Snyder. Please take a look at the cover on Amazon.com when you have a chance so you can be familiar with how the Schiffer Books are so beautifully designed. You will also note that no detailed info was released on this book until 2 months or so prior to publication.
