ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Bertil Vallien is one of a handful of talented glass-artists who enjoy world-wide fame. The immense interest that his work arouses internationally certainly justifies the printing of a third edition of the book. Over the years, his work has had a far-reaching impact, which goes beyond any individual work of art; and reflects his determination to show that the glass industry is dependent on the know-how and imagination of its artists. Primarily, however, this is a book about the artist, Bertil Vallien, and his glass sculptures, which were forged during a period of freedom and independent creativity--a direction which he has continued to pursue since the end of the 1980s.(Publisher).

About Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
