But of course, 8 years of intense research and investigation to produce this publication has drained my financial resources, as I have so far financed every stage of the book on my own, from research travel costs to translation from flemish to english to working with top editors. Needless to say, I have taken this as far as I can on my own. This is why I am launching a crowdsourcing campaign on Indiegogo to assist in the last stage of this journey: the publication costs. I invite you to visit my campaign and see the first glimpse of this book, preview some of the enticing content and to pre-order your copy at a discount that you will only find here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/publishing-my-book-glass-virtual-real/x/8206737#/ 
 
One additional huge way that you can support my campaign is by simply forwarding this email to as many people as you know. Please Twitter it, share it on Facebook, use whatever electronic means you have at your disposal. It’s just a few clicks but these click can be powerful. Don’t underestimate the power of the ‘click’. It can make a world of difference in spreading the word. You just never know which of your friends might be intrigued by glass and contemporary art. This is possibly the best contribution you could make to guarantee a successful campaign.
 
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! Your support means the world to me.
Best regards.
