Review of 'Steel and Magic'

A. G. Maisey · 25th March 2020, 09:23 PM

I have not read this book, however, it does appear to be a very well produced, high quality publication.

A video tour of the exhibition is available at the link below, and I very strongly recommend that it needs to be watched.

Thank you Albert for the review, and Alan for the nice link to the video tour.

Some diversion for those who are staying at home.

Stay safe.

Also my thanks to Alan and Albert. I was able to visit the exhibition by it's opening, there are shown very rare and outstanding pieces, some you will find in old threads since Michael Marlow is a member here. Other pieces are from Dr. Udo Kloubert and from the IFICA.
I hope that they will find a way to extend it until the end of the year that I will be able to visit it again.

Stay healthy,
Detlef

As I understand, one of the forum participants has loaned a significant amount of items to the exhibit.

Hello Ariel,

For ordering this catalog, there is a post in the swap forum with the contact to the publisher.

I'm also still in the reading phase and will comment later.

Regards,
Kai

I ordered and paid for this book more than two months ago, and then received several emails to say that publication was delayed and I may not receive a copy until May. Although I live in Australia, it seems an unusually long wait if others already have received their copies. Thanks for posting this review and I will contact the publishers again.

Hello Ian,

Since you ordered early, I'm sure your copy is already on its way to you. I guess they gave a worst case estimate for arrival under current circumstances...

Regards,
Kai
