Book about artisan toys of the Balearics

Joan Sans i Mercader has just published a book. It is a volume called "Recull de juguetes artesanals de les Illes Balears". It is the number 3 of the UIB collection, directed by Jordi Vallespir, that has been edited by the Publications Service of the Balearic University. It also has the support of the Council for Education and Culture of the Balearic Government, the Council for Culture and Youth of the Mallorcan Council and Sa Nostra. The book starts with a few words by Miquel Rayó: "An attempt to present all those artisan toys that our forefathers used and that are important for our culture..."

Yesterday, Wednesday, at the Casa de Cultura of Sa Nostra, the presentation of the book took place by Cecili Buele i Ramis. The text of the presentation can be read on the Cecili Buele Special. Other articles published this week in the Special are: "The situation of Secondary Education in the Balearics" and "Non-voluntary hospitalizations of mental patients", corresponding to the speeches by Cecili Buele in the Balearic Parliament as M.P. for PSM-Entesa Nacionalista.
