Greetings all!

Vol. 30 of *BEADS: Journal of the Society of Bead Researchers *should be
printed and ready for distribution by the end of the month. It contains a
variety of articles and book reviews that we hope will be of interest to
the bead research community (see below). If you are currently not a member
of the Society and wish to receive this journal, contact me at
*[log in to unmask]
<[log in to unmask]>* and I will send you a PayPal invoice or the address
where you can send a check or MO. Membership for 2018 is only $20 US for
North America and $30 US for other destinations. You may join for 2019 at
this time as well but be aware that the dues for this year have increased
to $25 and $35, respectively, to keep pace with ever increasing printing
and shipping costs.

With best wishes,

Karlis Karklins
