Aquí va una pequeña reseña del libro:
Por lo que toca a Más
que cestos, el área principal en que nos
movemos es la cestería que podemos llamar 'popular', es
decir, aquélla que tradicionalmente ha elaborado la gente del campo
y del mar de los distintos pueblos de España sin tener como
prioridad fines mercantiles o siendo éstos de
pequeño alcance y limitándose la comercialización a las ferias o
mercados del área más próxima.

I
just picked up from the printing
house “More than baskets. Spanish basketry”, which is the title
of a little book that I have written this year and that I will
present next Sunday (October 13th)
at the Nationaal Vlechtmuseum Noordwolde of Holland. Because of an exhibition that will be open the same day at the museum, I
thought a few months ago that it might be interesting to write a
little book as an introduction on the subject for anyone with
curiosity about the world of the Spanish popular basketry, and at the
same time that it serve as an informative text about the contents of
this exhibition. The intention is that this, after Holland, will go
over other countries, thus it seemed a good idea that the book were
written in both Spanish and English; I talked about it with two good
friends of mine, Nacho Gil and Lois Walpole, and they generously
offered themselves to translate it. Tomi Osuna was in charge of
design and layout, and after many turns over it, here it is, 60 pages
and over 80 color pictures. If there is anyone interested in
acquiring it can ask me directly (carlosfontales@gmail.com)
because, for the moment, it is not distributed through bookstores.
The price is 10 € plus delivery costs.
Here
goes a short review of
the book:
In
relation to what More
than baskets
is about, the main area with which we are concerned is the basketry
that can be called ‘popular’. That is to say , that which has
traditionally been made by the people from the various country and
seaside villages and towns of Spain which does not have, as a
priority, any commercial purpose, or
if
it does, it is small
in scope
and
limited
to marketing
at fairs
or
nearby markets.
