Untitled Page Appendixes Index. The Eclctic lapidary, vol.1, No. 8. On Line, 7/01/97 clubs Exhibitions, Calif. Suiseki Soc. Italian Suiseki assoc. Taikanten Show http://www.felixrivera-suiseki.com/MyBook.html
Extractions: As I've been updating my web site it's natural that I think back to when I wrote my first (more on this later) suiseki book. It's the end of 2003, which means the book was published six years ago. It was a labor of love as the old cliche goes, but it was well worth it. The suiseki community needed a book from an active field collector that was also trained in evaluation and aesthetics, and that's what I gave you. The book has been a terrific success, way beyond the publisher and my expectations. To all of you that have purchased one or even two books, I thank you. When I said my "first book", I was referring to the fact that I'm in the process of writing a second book. It's going to be a book of essays dealing in detail with suiseki aesthetics and the dyad between Japanese and Western aesthetic influences and movements, evaluation, the notion of praxis and field collecting, issues of cross cultural sensitivity and appreciation, and, issues around stone classification, hermeneutics, etc. Please don't be too impatient. The book will probably take about two years so don't be in too much of a hurry. My book received numerious favorable interviews from such well known suiseki artists as Luciana Queirolo, Jim Hayes, Marco Favero, Chiara Padrini, Joe Davies, and Hideko Metaxas, to mention a few.
