Came across this today: a pre-order for Heiremans Seguso Vetri d'Arte, which the seller says is being published on October 31, 2011. I'll believe it when I see it as it isn't on the Arnoldische site.

Same here, David. We have been let down before in the past. :thud:

I'm also waiting for Arnoldsche's third installment on WMF that also seems to have vanished into the ether. ::)
-
I doubt it. I wrote to him and his answer pretty well said that it was delayed until further notice. I guess its another victim of the GFC.
A few of us actually placed orders with Waterstone? about a year ago and after a few months I claimed a refund on my card.

I won't get too excited just yet!!!...i am not a teenager with a newly arrived Victoria's Secret catalogue in the letter box yet... :ooh:

Hi everyone,
I have personally talked with Marc about the book, and he mentioned to me the release will be late 2012.
-
Thanks, Javier, for the update. I'll take your word for it. :hiclp:

Book Depository has put the book back to being unavailable. So apparently it was another of those false hopes. From what was said by Heiremans, the book won't be released to the general public, so we're unlikely to see it in any bookstore except maybe as a re-sale.
-
I emailed the publishers and asked if they are still planning to publish the book. I got a reply back form Marc Heiremans today saying that the publishing date is set for May 2013. Further information will follow on his website. Fingers crossed!
-
What do we need to do, start a petition? This is silly.
-
So many release dates have been talked about for the last few years that I don't pay attention anymore. I think the first release date was back in the Paleocene, right? I've bought the book twice and had to be refunded. I'm rather gun shy about it now.

Maybe send Heiremanns publishers a christmas wish????????

To all, I am pleased to confirm the presentation of my publication "Seguso Vetri D'Arte 1932-1973" this Autumn in Venice. Delays were caused by the huge quantity of the material which had to be digitalized. And once that was done, the resulting TB's on 6 hard disks were not exactly the easiest thing to manipulate. But it is done. The book will situate Murano in the early twentieth century, explaining its difficulties and how those were countered by the Italian government. An in depth companies history, which illuminates the very close relationship between Seguso Vetri D'Arte and the Zecchin-Martinuzzi, an extraction of 1300 drawings and period photographs showing the most relevant models out their 15.000 items, a scientific analise of the archive, a large section of about 200 objects in color, an extensive exhibition list with the actual novelties exhibits, the labels/signatures and a list allowing the dating of each model/technique/color combination. I truly believe it was well worth waiting for. But than again, that's up to you to Judge.... Regards to all, Marc Heiremans. PS in case of further questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

This is such good news, Marc. Do you know when and where it will be on sale? I have tried to order several times before, but of course, the book was not available. It will be good to get the work in my hands. Your books are the ones I use most in my library. You research your topics so well.
-
Wonderful Marc sounds like a dizzy step up from your normal outstanding work.
Now for the next project, which naturally leads on from this one, Archimede Seguso?

I just pre-ordered the book at (Don't order yet! Read below) http://www.bookdepository.com/Seguso-Vetri-DArte-Marc-Heiremans/9783897901629. I'm not easily excited, and I know it is probably going to be a while, but I can't wait. I have been hoping for this book for a while now. I do hope that it is the correct order this time.
Oops -- it may be the wrong order again. The title is different than the one Marc gave. Canceling my order. I probably hold the world's record for the number of times trying to buy a publication. :)

This is excellent news! Makes my day! :) I will check later in the year. This will help me greatly with my ever growing collection of SVdA pieces. Many thanks for your great work Mr Heiremans! Also, found this link:
