--June 1, 2009 We just got back from the Chicago Arts & Crafts Show to find our new Garden of the Gods posters have arrived from the printer.  We hoped to have them for the show but FedEx was late on delivery.  These are original posters done in the style of the original WPA posters and display a view of the Garden of the Gods park in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  This park is on the North end of Colorado Springs and about 60 miles South of Denver right along the Eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains.  There is a nice view of Pike's Peak from the park.  These have beautiful deep colors and look fantastic with our Dard Hunter frames.

--December 18, 2008 Our new Yosemite poster featuring El Capitan is almost ready.  We will go to print next week and should have it back from the printer around mid January.  We are offering a special deal on this one.  You will get FREE SHIPPING on all pre orders of our new poster.  We are working with our store software to try to set up the free shipping for these items but it's proving to be difficult so we will refund the shipping on your order or you can phone in your order by calling our shop toll free at (877)-204-9961.  You can see the poster framed and unframed by clicking on the WPA Posters link on either side of the page.  The image posted is our draft image and will be updated with our final image in a few days.

We are preparing our newest product line in our online store.  Many of you have seen our presense on eBay with our design references and catalogs.  For those of you not familiar, we deal in antique books specific to the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau styles.  In our search for stock, we often encounter books with great content but are in bad condition.  We scan these book in high resolution and painstakingly edit the graphics one page at a time and produce the entire book electronically on CD-ROM in Adobe Acrobat format.  We have sold many hundreds of these on eBay.  Such titles include the Bilt-Well Millwork catalog, Radford's Details of Construction, and many more.  Please check back soon for updates or, better yet, click on the request catalog link to be added to our mailing list and get updates.  If you would like to see our current offering through eBay, you can click on this link.
