    This is the latest book from Tim McCreight=92s Brynmorgan Press. It
    will be available from your favorite bookerie in February. Not for the
    faint of heart! This is a study of an ancient art. There are no
    instant recipes here. There are recipes, step by step processes,
    literally hundreds of years of experience released in 120 pages. It
    is a guide steeped in tradition and presented with the greatest
    respect. 

    Here is a quote from the introduction that will give you a little of
    the flavor: 

    =93The Japanese term "onkin-chishin" describes the dual need to honor
    the past and grow into the future. As artists we have an obligation
    to respect our predecessors and give something new to those who come
    after us. In addition to learning the techniques they have passed on
    to us, we must also take up the ongoing search for beauty. Our
    definitions will be different, but the search is the same. As we work
    in our studios, the very work leads us along this path. As we cut
    grind, and polish in search of our forms, we become philosophers,
    searching for beauty.=94 

    The book is beautifully illustrated and punctuated with outstanding
    work from a broad variety of metalsmiths. From aesthetics to zinc a
    richness of thought prevails. 

    Full Color, Hard cover, 6 by 9 inches, 120 pages, List $22.50
