Light International

Light InternationalLight International is a new publication, just out and devoted solely to "Lamping." It is the brain child of John Claypole of Matlock, Derbyshire, UK. John says in the first issue " This magazine is designed to provide an international, often serious, but sometimes humorous, interchange between lamp collectors as far apart as Spokane, WA in the far north-west and the Shetland Islands at the top end of the cold North Sea - From Sidney to Perth in 'OZ' to Auckland and 'Windy-Welly' in NZ - yes, over the years I've heard from you all. A global interchange for information that will hopefully enable lamp collectors/historians/antique-dealers to better knowledge of their collections, their exhibits or their stock in trade. For buying, selling and swapping, a book-review page, also including a free query-service (please include postage costs) - if the editor can't answer your questions about a particular kind of lamp - he can pass it around America, Europe and the world so there is bound to be someone, somewhere who can."
