Oh how wonderful! Since I can't be there, at least I can buy myself the book for my birthday this month.

Well, I just received my book, ordered from Amazon. The photos are fabulous and though I've barely started reading would say it's money well spent. Book was under $30, also bought the special flashlight to check out my Sea of Cortez pearls, too. Together was just over $40 with free shipping. (No tax in OR.)

Enjoy your new book Pattye! I put it on my wish list

The exhibit catalog will be available through Amazon at a discount starting October 29, I believe.

I went looking for the exhibition catalogue and could not find it anywhere on the interwebs; has anyone else managed to find it yet? Love the photos, wish I could go visit!

I'm not certain this is the same as the exhibition catalogue, but the book is very comprehensive:

I just received it a week or so ago, and it is full of great photos and historical background~

Thanks, Pattye! I've got that one on my ever expanding wish list

Oh, Amazon has 30% off until tomorrow! Any expensive pearl books anyone can think of that can be bought through Amazon? (30% off special is only good on ONE book, might as well take advantage of it!)
