Do YOURSELF a favor!

It isn't every day that you have the opportunity to own a book that you will cherish,
tell your friends about, return to again and again to look through and read. You
will THANK yourself for spending the small amount of money to purchase my book. You
will own a book that, in my opinion, is destined to become a rare book -
a book that will eventually be coveted by many rare book collectors!

Are YOU one of the lucky few?
Obviously, this book will not appeal to everyone. It is not a book for mass media. It is
a book created for only a select number of people . . . people who appreciate the finer
things in life, who are inquisitive and devoted to their research and study of our
shared antiquity, who often travel to distant and exotic destinations in their quest to
observe and to experience.
Often such people collect books they deem worthy of space in
their private library. They often showcase such books at focal points in their favorite
living space; perhaps upon a coffee table or in an upright position on a book shelf.
They sometimes carry along a few of their favorite books while traveling and exploring
the world.
When actual physical travel is impossible, too expensive, or not their
preference, they purchase books such as 'The Potter of Pano Arhanes' for their leisure
arm-chair travel adventures.
I believe this book - 'The Potter of Pano Arhanes' - will ultimately belong to members of
this 'select group of people.'
My question to you: Are YOU one of the lucky few?

Invest a little to enjoy for the rest of your life!
'The Potter of Pano Arhanes' is a unique specimen of travel photography journalism!
It has been prepared and printed with exacting, strict, and demanding standards for
photographic imagery, prose, layout, printing, binding, and distribution.
What you are being offered is the opportunity to own and enjoy your copy of
'The Potter of Pano Arhanes' for the rest of your life. A book of such high quality
standards does not deteriorate and become obsolete after a year or two.
For the equivalent cost of a dinner at a fine restaurant, you may purchase a life-long
companion - your copy of 'The Potter of Pano Arhanes'.

Finally, a few 'last words' about my book.
|
Each trip I made to the pottery workshop in Pano Arhanes increased my fascination and love for
the various artistic expressions and forms created by the potter-sculptor. I purchased several
of her more utilitarian fired-clay products for use as props and serving pieces in my food
photography work - ref: http://greekfood.about.com/. On my last visit, a few days before
returning to the USA, I obtained the potter's permission to do a photographic study of her
workshop and one of her 'in process' works. This book contains many of the photos from that
photo session.
My book "The Potter of Pano Arhanes" contains 100+ 8-inch by 10-inch (approximate size)
color photos, several pages of Photographer's Notes that describe (caption) the photos,
a Bibliography, and Reference pages that list books and websites about Crete.
My investment of time, money and effort is beyond price! Hard cash? At least $9,000.
Quality large-format photography books are expensive to publish and print.
The retail price of my book is USD$ 29.95 plus shipping and sales tax. Total cost: $35.92
