Karlis, you beat me to the post by 7 minutes!

Despite shipping charges, you will not be disappointed with this beautiful book - I feel it is under priced in order to accomodate the unavoidable shipping charge from Italy...

It is a treasure! The Murano Glass Museum should be very proud of this presentation of their collection, as well as the history of Venice production that is included.

I have already found an image of one of the stranger beads I've collected - it was a tabular bead on a mixed strand. I thought it was some sort of defective attempt to make a "regular" symmetric tab. It was clearly not broken in half since the wide end was as-made, not fractured. But here is the pic from the new book along side my bead - it was made that way on purpose!

Grazie Signore Panini - for dedicating four years to this project!

For some reason a jpeg file does not display on BCN but a jpg file does.

I bought a (unsigned) copy on the 14th of July and it arrived today the 20th! Just in time as a present for my birthday.
What a book! Mamma mia! I need a lot of time for this book; very impressive.
For those who are interested and still don't have a copy: I bought in on ebay via seller Bortoloso (item number 362019998799).
Totally costs €47,10 (including €12,00 post and packaging for the Netherlands; I think that is a very reasonable price).

My copy arrived from Italy today. Postage was paid by Ebay Bucks, a rebate from all the beads I've bought recently.

I've been wanting to see more bead sample cards. This is wonderful, a fat book full of them, along with some closeup photos. Those hanks of fancy beads are to die for.

Amazon-UK lists a bookseller Webster.it who offers the book as "English" but they deliver the Italian version. I complained and they said they would "pick up" and refund but so far no details on how this is supposed to work. They say they do not have the English language version, but their photo and description on Amazon UK continue to be that version
