If anyone is still searching for this book, email Charon Kransen at charon@charonkransenarts.com. He has an extensive collection of jewelry books available for sale and presently has the Strack book on his list. His website is http://www.charonkransenarts.com/.
I've bought several books from him.

Jeremy,
Yes The Pearl, Kunz & Stephenson is not to be sneezed. Lots of interesting historical information about now defunct pearl areas.

Jeremy,

I agree, Kunz & Stephenson's The Pearl is the classic work, but so much of it now is purely of historical interest.

I am interested in purchasing the book Pearlsby Elisabeth Strack. I went on to the German publisher's site but can not tell if the book is in English or German. If anyone knows of a good current source, please let me know. I would think that any gem training program would have this as a textbook!

Did you try GIA? They used to carry it.

When I ordered the book about 1 1/2 yrs ago I ordered directly from the German publisher. I emailed them first to make sure they had in English. They did. It was all handled very well.

Welcome and good luck!

I just don't understand why this book is not easily available. It should just be put on Amazon so that it can be conveniently ordered......and the number of copies sold will increase dramatically, in my opinion....

I ordered a copy from Rio Grande about a month ago and received it two days later. I assume that means they have them in stock and ready to ship. Might be faster to order from them than go through the German publisher.

Wow! That's great news!

[earlyindigo]

Thank you all. I will keep trying the different sources. Too bad it is not on Amazon. If any one knows of sources other than the ones in this post, please let me know.

I just called Rio, the books are on back order.

I too had to go thru the German publisher a couple years back.

Where are you located?

Both GIA and Rio don't have the book right now. Elizabeth had some copies in Tucson when she spoke there a couple of years ago, but i don't remember if they were in English...I think the distribution or lack there of, has to do with her publisher.

Check with Peter Bazaar of Imperial Pearls. He's a member here (pbazar is his handle name). I bought mine from him. He had a couple books left last year.

[Pearl Dreams]

I got mine from Peter as well, but I had the impression that all his copies went.

But, you know, it's worth a try!
