Miller's Art Glass: How to Compare and Value
This art glass book is unique with its compare-and-contrast format in which apparently similar pieces of art glass are analyzed side-by-side to determine why one is more valuable than the other - or why one is a treasure and the other, not quite. Full colour photographs of art glass pieces from each of the more than 50 featured glassmakers appear on facing pages surrounded by call-outs highlighting each piece's "value features" - those key design and condition factors that account for the item's relative market value. On each spread, introductory text provides invaluable information on the glass studio and its wares, bulleted points summarize the main features of the art glass pieces being compared and "Key Facts" sidebars provide additional information on the studio's history, key artists, special techniques and maker's marks. It includes a survey of American and European Art Glass and sections on understanding the art glass market. Recommended for the Art Glass collector or dealer.

Antique Glass
This antique glass book has been written by John Sandon, the well known antiques expert from the UK 'Antiques Roadshow'. It tells the story of glass, from it's discovery in ancient Egypt right through to the fascinating world of the 20th century and post-war design. The text is concise, very informative and above all readable. Over 240 carefully chosen photographs, of which the majority are in colour, show more than 500 beautiful glass items, from fine old Venetian and Art Nouveau masterpieces to quite ordinary decanters and Victorian moulded bottles. Alongside costly rarities, one of the strengths of this book is the inclusion of inexpensive novelty glass that anyone can find easily and cheaply. This book is aimed at the beginner on a modest budget as well as at established glass collectors. I consider this to be an excellent book.
