For the first time with this 2006 edition the International Metal Design Annual is in full color.
Where else but in these great annuals from Hephaistos can smiths see what their colleagues all over the world are creating? If you haven't seen one of these annuals yet, purchase the newest. After seeing it you'll want all of them.
This year the USA is represented by the excellent work of John Medwedeff. You'll also see great workmanship by Patrick Boutellier de Saint Andre (France), Adam Stachowicz (Poland), and the excellent production from the German family of Peter, Franz, and Markus Voegele. From Germany there is also Peter Schmitz and Werner Ende, and Austria is represented splendidly by the work of Herbert Gahr.
