Dear Andy,


It's been a while.. How are you? Everythings fine here..

I talked to an ordermanager of Lenoir Schuring (printing company in Amstelveen).. I proudly showed the compendium to him and he was flabbergasted by the bookbinding and print quality.. He just had to cancel a project for Irma Boom (the designer of Sheila Hicks' awardwinning book) because of the binding.

He asked me to lend my copy to him to show around.. Offcourse I agreed..

I had to share this with you..

Any new interesting projects going on? Hope to see you again.

Kind regards,


Bart Overeem

Lieber Andy,
ein kurzen  Dank über das gelungene Projekt des Compendiums. 

Das Buch über Schmuck ist so bunt, so unterschiedlich, so anders, aber auch so unbegreiflich und so vermischt wie das Leben selbst.
Ich habe schon einige Stunden mit dem Durchblättern den zwei dicken Babys verbracht, trotzdem  entdecke ich immer wieder etwas Neues und das was ich schon gesehen habe, was glaubte ich schon zu kennen zeige sich in neuem Blickwinkel.  
Das Kompendium erweckt in mich eine unheimliche Freude, die Freude vom vielseitigen menschlichen Können.   Freude von Fantasie, den die Fantasie betrachte ich gemeinsam mit Empathie als die größten Gaben des menschlichen  Vermögens. Wenn jemand noch dazu die Fähigkeit hat, seine Fantasien in den Schmuck umzusetzen, dann ist es eine Bereicherung für uns alle.
Das zeigt uns das Kompendium.
Andy, einen großen Dank, dass Du es geschafft hast das Kompendium gemeinsam mit Suzy und  Mitarbeiter, diesen Buchschmuckstück zusammen zu bringen.                                                  
Denn ein Buch über Schmuckkünstler kann nur jemand, der völlig außen der Schmuckszene steht, der möglichst wenig  mit allen den Leuten, die ihr Leben damit verbringen ihren abstrakten Vorstellungen, materialisiert oft in unmöglichen Formen und Stoffen dem äußeren Welt als  „SCHMUCK“ als Verzierung des menschlichen Körper vorzutäuschen versuchen. 

Herzlichen Dank,  

Petr Dvorak

Beste Andy,

Ik heb het compendium gisteren ontvangen en ben er erg blij mee! Fantastisch dat dit grote boekwerk voor 
zoiets "kleins" als sieraden is gelukt. Bij deze gefeliciteerd!

Hallo Suzy,

wie ihr schon gemerkt habt: Habe es am Do nicht zur Druckerei geschafft, dafür am Dienstag. Die Compendien 
habe ich wohlbehalten abgeholt, sie stehen jetzt bei uns im Atelier. Falko kann seins gerne abholen, wenn 
er aus dem Urlaub zurück ist (könntest Du ihm das bitte mitteilen, ich habe immer noch keinen Mail-Adresse 
von ihm - auch daß er besser kurz vorher anruft). Hoffe, ihr hattet einen netten Nachmittag mit all denen, 
die am Donnerstag zur Druckerei gekommen sind.
An dieser Stelle, da ich es persönlich nicht ausrichten konnte, euch beiden vielen Dank für eure Arbeit, 
die dieses, nun ja, da fehlen mir die Worte, umfassende - reicht nicht -, wahnsinnige, spannende BUCH 
ermöglicht haben!
Viele Grüße,
Elgin

Hi Andy and your beloved Suzy or 
Hi Suzy and your hopefully!  ;)  beloved Andy,

Today is a good day.
The postman rang (once only, I was thankfully in).
I schlepped the heavy box up 3 flights of stairs.
Happily my groceries often seem heavier, so that was good too.
My aim is to look at each page, so till now I got into the Bs of the 100+ jewelers.
Then curious I skipped to the 'Making of' and had quite a few chuckles and head shaking!
Hopefully I never ever think of myself or react as did those X, Y, Z examples!!

With more time now than I had at the presentation at SCHMUCK I can savor it properly.
The binding is beautifully executed with the little nudge out panels and underlying rubbery stoppers to 
prevent uncontrolled and premature slipping out of the bricks. I very much like the organized chaos and 
actually find it less chaotic than people feared it would be.

Amazing that you managed it all is such a short time. Pat yourselves on the back for this maybe 'unnecessary' 
compendium because, isn't it the 'unnecessary' things in life that are the most pleasurable? 
Thank you for a great initiative and standing steadfast even in the blasting of those overly important 
people whose egos who couldn't re-mold your concept.

Even though you're probably totally fed up with jewelers at this point, I do hope to see you again at 
some jewelry event or other!

Warm greetings from Amsterdam,
Andrea Wagner, Amsterdam, NL

Thanks and hope to meet you some time.

  Bonjour!
 I received the "Compendium", and proud to be on bord - I wanted to share some 1rsts impressions

Only one year ago, in my diploma paper, I was wandering about how to disenclose (?) the small world of 
contemporary jewellers...
Your project then, simply appealled to me at first because of its innovative politics...

In the book there are some very good presentations, some very good works; 
then pages wich the works I do not subscribe to, 
and pages where self conceit outstands just as the weakness it is - precisely because presented between 
eclectic choice -
But in the whole : a place 4 all! 
Surely a step torward this new direction
( Also been enjoyin the "gossip" chapter at the end of vol.2) 

But in the whole, this new direction is a big challenge, - because pretentious & elitist behaviour has 
nothing to do with quality of work-
But then how & who can one really specify what's a cntemporary jewel of quality?

With my best regards
Paola

PS
You write that most of the jewellers are german or dutch (because of the languages issued)...
and this -trought true in number- grieve me a little...because we  (Swiss)(& in spite of works of quality..) seem 
to somehow lack the promoting "cultural space" german and duth have been able to give themselves in this 
field...

============================================================================================================

Biba Schutz-

Far out Andy Lim, what a back breaking beauty. The most beautiful book I have seen and I'm in it.
Thank you for your enthusiasm and your "subversive" way of showing what contemporary jewellery is.
A totally fantastic experience showing this colossal work, friends can't believe their eyes.
Truly unbelievable...
I hope in the meantime my "token" has reached you.
Thanks again

All the best

Danuta Uhlig-

Dear Andy

After having collected my copy of the compendium at IHM in Munich and dragged it home I immersed myself 
in it and am now an addict! 

I just have to let you know how very happy I am to be in possession (and part) of such an extraordinary 
oeuvre. I am not that interested in my own pages (I know them by heart...) but in all the others' and 
in the book as a whole. It is astonishing and extraordinary how well everybody corresponds with his or 
her immediate "neighbours" in the book. E.g. the young lady who precedes me has a collection of about 
20 - 25 rings on her second page. On my first page there are 5 rings. It looks as if these two pages had 
been specially designed to harmonise and so does the whole book. As is we were all links of a very long 
chain. It being all just alphabetical coincidence makes it all the more astonishing.

After having met you and your lovely wife Suzie at IHM personally (at the JAC-stall, with Erico Nagai, 
and when collecting the book) the Compendium has changed from something abstract into something very personal 
to me. It's great to know the people who are behind such an outstanding project and I would like to thank 
you very dearly for it and for your dedication to it. Of course my thanks have to be extended to Suzie 
who so patiently and swiftly answered all the e-mails and all the questions even the dumbest ones.

There is now just one thing I would like to ask you. I'm burning to know whose pages have been designed 
by you. Could or would you name some of the jewellers for whom the layout has been designed by you, or 
is it confidential? It would be just so interesting to see your approach and the way you work.

It would also be nice to have some information from you now and then to be able to follow your future 
projects. 

I wish you and Suzie all the best and good luck for whatever is next on your agenda.
With many thanks for your great work and kind regards

Danuta Uhlig, Munich

Dear Andy, Suzy,

I was in Schmuck and visited your stand during the presentation of the Compendium. The books are just 
wonderful and I am glad that we participated with an essay. It is great insight og international contemporary 
jewellery and it has been wonderful that so many artists from Latin America had rhe chance to participate 
in the project. Thank you for your effort and congratulations for the success. If you are ever interested 
to present it at the American Bookstore in Amsterdam, let me know. Suzy, nice to meet you. Andy, I hope 
to have the chance to meet you some other time.

Kind greetings,

dear Andy and Suzy,

I just arrived "home"
Cold cold snowy Norway,
WITH the biggest book ever, that I transported in my borrowed samsonite as hand luggage...
Actually, when I was so stupid (but luckily not the only one..) that I didn't say I wanted it shipped,
I thought,
well thats it!
Its part of the game, the effort, the strain, the schock of the size of one book,
I'll bring it home, and I will NOT ship it (as a matter of fact, I did not have time to do it, and to 
give that tassk to somebody else, seemed like a coward)

I've looked through,
and I'm amazed!
You really managed! Just looking at it, in its amazing box, lying 14 kilo heavy on my table,
I think, man that's just unbeliavable!

I'm happy I took part,
I'm happy that there excist people like you, who start and pull through projects like this.

Hey I know you said this would be the last project, but honestly I can't wait to your next!

Best wishes
Nanna Melland, Norway

Reip Chopin-

Dear Andy,
My name is Reip Chopin. I just received the book, you issued. I am very impressed by the highest quality 
and quantity of work. The same can be said of the books' size and weigh. Thank you very much.
I presume that Jerusalem academy of arts, "Bezalel", as well as Tel Aviv institute of design, "Schenkar" 
may be interested to have a book like that. The director of jewellery department at Bezalel heard about 
the book from me (it was pretty hard to show it) and is qurious about the price including postage for 
the organizations like mentioned above.
Thank you again, looking forward to you reply

Hallo Andy en Suzy.
 
Dit mailtje had ik eigenlijk gisteravond willen sturen, maar ik wilde eerst even wat nakijken in het compendium.
Dat even werd weer eens vele uren en toen ik op mijn horloge keek was het alweer twee uur in de nacht, 
de tijd was gevlogen en nog had ik lang niet alles gezien!. Ik raakte maar niet uitgekeken, elke keer 
was ik weer verbaasd, verrast, geschokt of moest ik lachen! Wat al die ontwerpers allemaal bedenken en 
hoe zij die bladzijden hebben vormgegeven!
Kortom, wat een geweldig boek!
Wat een prestatie van jullie om dit in goede banen te leiden!
Wat een initiatief!
Dit is even mijn eerste reactie, mede om jullie te complimenteren en te bedanken!
 
En ik vind het heel leuk dat ik het al heb en dat vele anderen nog even geduld moeten hebben!
 
Lieve groet, Birgit.
