"Orchid in Print" Book Series Announced  

    MJSA and Ganoksin to collaborate on new imprint focusing on bench
    practices. 

    Providence, RI - Continuing their information-sharing partnership,
    Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America (MJSA) and The Ganoksin
    Project will collaborate on a new series of books dedicated to basic
    bench practices. 

    The first book, to be published by MJSA/AJM Press under the imprint
    "Orchid in Print," will be How to Make the Most of Your Flex-Shaft.
    Written by Karen Christians, owner of the Metalwerx school in
    Waltham, Massachusetts, the book will focus on how jewelers can
    ensure they choose the right flex-shaft systems and accessories for
    their needs, and operate them safely at maximum efficiency. It will
    also include a chapter of tips compiled from the Ganoksin technical
    archive, which includes postings from the popular Orchid forum as
    well as the related "Tips from the Jeweler's Bench" newsletter. 

    The prime sponsor for the flex-shaft book is The Bell Group/Rio
    Grande, the Albuquerque, New Mexico-based suppliers of tools and
    equipment, gemstones, findings, and display and packaging. 

    Patron sponsors are The Foredom Electric Co. in Bethel, Connecticut,
    and 3M Inc., which is headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota.

    "This new imprint is a logical addition to the list of MJSA/AJM
    Press titles," said James F. Marquart, president/CEO of MJSA. "Our
    award-winning series of books have become common references in many
    shops and schools, and we are pleased to be able to work with the
    industry's pre-eminent online resource to extend the information
    available to the industry." 

    "As part of the ongoing collaboration between MJSA and Ganoksin, I
    am very excited about the new "Orchid in Print" books," said Dr. E.
    Aspler (Hanuman), founder of The Ganoksin Project
    (http://www.ganoksin.com). "These books will concentrate on the
    basics of jewelry technique, equipment, and the jewelers'
    environment, collected from the discussions and questions gleaned
    from the archives of the Orchid community. We are very happy that
    MJSA has taken on the project of making this valuable information
    available in book form." 

    The trade book division of MJSA, MJSA/AJM Press has published three
    books since its formation in 2001: The Platinum Bench by Jurgen J.
    Maerz, At the Bench by Gregg Todd and Greg Gilman, and The AJM Guide
    to Lost-Wax Casting. A fourth book, 101 Bench Tips for Jewelers by
    Alan Revere, will be available in December 2004. All have been based
    on articles and columns that originally appeared in MJSA's monthly
    trade magazine, AJM: The Authority on Jewelry Manufacturing.
