I bought a pack of surface gold today from Art Essentials of NY. $250. That comes out to $12.50/book. The last time I bought it by the book it cost me $29.50. It's worth buying the pack. This is a sale price if anyone is interested. The number is 1-800-283-5323.

If you plan to do any amount of gold work, buy your leaf by the pack (500 leaves) rather than the book (25 leaves)!!!!!!
Keep an eye out for a sale or special...and grab some! When buying surface leaf, i don't worry about brand, it doesn't make much difference, unlike "glass leaf" that is used on windows! How you burnish it is more important than the brand of surface leaf.
Just my 2 cents worth!
