The largest of the three books is, as it should be, "The Book of Glass". It is above all as a glass artist that Vallien has made a big name for himself for over half a century, with exhibitions all over the world, represented in museums such as the Metropolitan in New York and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, and with world celebrities such as Bill Gates and Elton John among his many collectors worldwide.

Designed with his many collectors in mind, "The Book of Glass" focuses largely on Bertil Vallien's many international exhibitions over the years, with "highlights" at galleries and museums in Warsaw, New York, Chicago and Venice, to name a few.

Each book includes a print of Bertil and a unique vertical glass boat. Representing Bertil's most iconic work, each vertical boat is handcrafted and part of a numbered limited edition. Bertil Vallien: The Book of Glass together with the sculpture of the vertical glass boat represents a truly special and unique work of art.
