From the Publisher & Webmaster: Rome wasn't built in a day. Neither was jetsetmodern.com Looking back over the many articles we've previously published and through the folders of thousands of photographs I've taken, I'm remembering lots of great times digging up obscure information and spending time in beautiful environments filled with wonderful designs, plus a fair share of dark dusty libraries and basements to keep it real. It's been fun and rewarding, and quite exhausting at times, creating a magazine out of nothing, to share the topics for which have such passion. Here at Jetsetmodern, we're entering a new phase, and we ask for your support. We continue in the free spirit of the internet in providing tons of great information and photos available 24/7 around the world, but we're asking you to support our publication in a small way. We publish more information in our magazine than you'll find in any print magazine. Take note of how in-depth and detailed our articles are, and how many photos illustrate the points made. Notice the lack of pages and pages of advertisements before and after every article. Add in the convenience of reading every article anytime, including an online archive of every article we've ever published, and the ability to print and study and share these articles with friends via email. We've often remembered the phrase, "Build it and they will come". We've built it, and we're asking you to come to the table with a $2 contribution per issue. We feel it's a very small amount to ask compared to the cost of other magazines, and ours brings so much more depth and scope to our readers. You'll find at the beginning of every article, a link to pay $2 per issue via paypal, conveniently online on a secure site (or send a check to: Joe Kunkel, P.O. Box 364, Flossmoor, IL 60422). After you've paid, you can continue reading all articles in this issue. Along with the updated site, I'm launching my new pages about modernist real estate! Check it out at www.jetsetmodern.com/realestate. I'm specializing in modernist and historically significant single family residences and condos in Chicago and all suburbs, and I'm part of an extensive nationwide network so I can help you no matter where you are, buying and selling! If you're looking for an iconic residence by Mies van der Rohe or Frank Lloyd Wright or the many other great modernist architects, or something more modest inspired by them, please let me know and we'll get you into the home of your dreams. 2005: Now celebrating 10 years on the internet...an expanded online magazine, vintage shopping gallery, and modernist real estate agency! We thank you for your support! Joe Kunkel Publisher & Webmaster www.jetsetmodern.com joe@jetsetmodern.com
