To get this book published, we need 5 companies that are willing to advertise in this book. So far, we’ve got 4. The companies who will advertise in our book will get 150 copies of the book for free. Who of you knows a company, that might want this ? In the book (1500 copies, full color) will be about 62 non Asian potters, who all get two pages (168 x 240 mm). On the first page will be their hanko, photo of themselves, contact information and an English Biography. On the other page will be photo's of their bonsai pots. The cover has been made by the artist Irene Chang. The following potters will be in the book : Bryan Albright, Derek Aspinall, Jack Bacus, Ian Baillie, Jim Barrett, Marc Bauwens, Cecilia Barton, Dan Barton, Richard Boggs, Patrice Bongrand, Dale Cochoy, Gordon Duffett, Gilbert van der Elst, Petra Engelke, Jim Gremel, Filip Haesen, Michael Hagedorn, Petra Hahn, Alan Harriman, Victor and Glyn Harris, Horst Heinzlreiter, Jürgen Hilken, Franz Hilliger, Roger Hnatiuk, Stan and Ilse Holroyd, Renske Jaasma, David Jones, Lenie Jongerhuis, Andreas van Kerckhove, Milan Klika and Vlada Kurátková, Ingrid Kralovec, Peter Krebs, Ron Lang, Dick Lankers, René Lecocq, Nick Lenz, Dave Lowman, Elsebeth Ludvigsen, Jacques Marty, Sandi McFarland, Hans Meeuwsen, Andy Pearson, Donnas Hermena Peterson, John Pitt, Morea Pubben, Sara Rayner, Mario Remeggio, Tony Remington, Ron de Roo, Harry Smeets, Roger Snipes, Piotr Świecki, Diane Thoman, Kevin Thompson, Dirk Vanspeybroeck, Dolf Verjans, William Vlaanderen, Emil Wanningen en Silvia Weber.

Without that (or a publisher), there will be no potter book __________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bonsai Pot Signatures - http://www.yamadori.nl/Bonsai_Schalen.htm NEW BOOK 'Bonsai Potters' - http://www.yamadori.nl/Bonsai_Potters.htm -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have You Thought Of A Cover Design?

Sorry, but it's the first thing that came into my mind when I saw this thread.

These're www.espaflor.com, www.lodderbonsai.nl, www.samurai.nl, www.bonsaiplaza.com and www.bauwens-bonsai.com. We could use an other advertiser for half a page, because Bauwens will only have a half page. But it's not 100% necessary. We're still on schedule to get it published before the Noelanders Trophy in January. __________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bonsai Pot Signatures - http://www.yamadori.nl/Bonsai_Schalen.htm NEW BOOK 'Bonsai Potters' - http://www.yamadori.nl/Bonsai_Potters.htm -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
