California artist, Joan Schulze, wins book award

The Art of Joan Schulze
ISBN: 1881529444

The Art of Joan Schulze, a fine art book relating to quilts, collage and poetry, is a winner in the Reference Books Category of the 9th Annual Writers Digest National Self-Published Book Awards. Competition was particularly fierce this year - more than 1,900 books were entered.

Judges comments;
The artwork itself is creative, expressive and original. It is the product of a true professional artist. The production quality of the book is top shelf coffee table book. Extremely expensive to produce, the heavy cover, thick glossy four color pages and large folio size make this book capable of 'conveying the artwork within. Finally, the content is professionally handled. The jacket copy is well-written and on-target. Likewise, the introduction and following texts do an excellent job at conveying the creative journey of the artist.

Quote from Writers Digest Editor, Melanie Rigney:
It is also one [book} that is fully capable of rivaling the best productions of the commercial publishing establishment.

Added note;

The HGTV show Simply Quilts" will feature the artist and her book in her San Francisco studio; scheduled for fall 2002.
