NEW BOOK
"MASTERPIECES OF MODERN LITHIC ART"

     It's amazing how quickly modern flint knapping has advanced from McCormick's Folsom points and Reinhardt's gray ghosts to today's finely crafted lithic art. A select few of these craftsmen are producing pieces that are far more skillfully flaked than the work of ancient knappers. These pieces can be larger, thinner, and more colorful and have almost perfect flaking patterns. They are also making some of their points out of the rarest and highest quality stone available, which greatly enhances their artistic appeal. These are the examples of lithic art that can be seen in the recently published book, "Masterpieces Of Modern Lithic Art."

    Fracturing and reshaping stone by removing flakes is the oldest surviving form of craftsmanship. The majority of these works of stone were made for either utilitarian or ritual purposes. But, in today's modern society, flint knapping has become a serious art form. Right now, the best place to see them is in the book "Masterpieces Of Modern Lithic Art."
