Buy Glass Books - Save Money!

It's been quite a while since I've posted a Fledgling Studio update, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been anything new added to our website.

Seems like I'm constantly making small changes - fixing broken links... tucking in another book title... adding a new glass link...

I hope you're not just sitting there, waiting for me to tell you EVERY time there's something new.

Bookmark our main site: www.FledglingStudio.com (or your favorite page) and check in once in a while. And I'll try to be more regular with these update announcements.

That said, I wanted to pass on a news item while you still have some time to act on it:

ALIBRIS (one of my favorite sources for used and rare glass books) is offering a discount off your next book order from their website.

You'll find Alibris on our "Book Links" page here

When you click through to their website and order one or more books, you can take $1 off ANY order, or $3 off your order of $30 or more. But hurry! This offer expires October 19, 2005.

At checkout, simply enter these coupon codes:
To save $1 on ANY order, enter: 5KR91
To save $3 on your order of $30 or more, enter: 5KR93

Remember, these codes are ONLY good through October 19, 2005. So be sure to take a look right away.

Once again, here's where to find ALIBRIS on our "Book Links" page

Watch for our next update soon!

p.s. From now until Christmas, I'll be posting a lot of our duplicate glass books for sale on eBay. Check 'em out using the link to the right above.

Just what kind of website improvements are coming up?

Fledgling Studio Glass Art
Somebody asked the other day "Why should I sign up for your e-mail updates? Just what kind of website improvements are coming up that I'd want to know about?"

Good question!

So far, we've listed several pages worth of books from our Glass Library. Each title is linked (or soon will be) to Amazon.com's network of independent booksellers, so you can find copies to add to your own library.

A lot of the book listings include brief reviews or our own comments about the book. Our main current update task is to get all of the titles linked and reviewed, so you can make an informed decision about actually spending money to get a copy of your own.

We've got more Reprints in the works. Great stuff for lampworkers, glass painters, glass blowers, and collectors. We're putting together a survey so we can find out from YOU just what you'd like to see us put back in print next. It's not quite ready to go yet, but you can tell us what you'd like to see anytime by adding a comment right here on our blog.

Glasswear - Yes, that says glass-WEAR, as in things to wear. You know, stuff like T-shirts, caps, tank tops, and other neat stuff everyone needs. We've got some terrific old cards, prints, engravings, and interesting glass-related objects. We want to keep the originals, but we're planning to share the images with you on all kinds of wearable items.

So go to the website, and sign up TODAY for our e-mail updates! Be the first on your block to find out when we've got someting NEW for you to see.
