Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Dust Jacket Present. 4to-over 9¾"-12" tall. 272 pages, with an introduction by Helen McKearin, illustrated with 12 color plates and 159 b&w photos. This book "is the second book devoted to American glass: it contains material not easily found elsewhere and nowhere in so usable form. When this book was published in 1914, it was limited to four hundred twenty copies, as the publication costs I have been told, was paid by the author because in 1914, its launching seemed too great a financial risk for any publisher. Stiegal Glass, in my opinion, reamins a vital member of American glass literature." From Helen McKearin's introduction. VERY GOOD HARDCOVER. Blue cloth covers, lettering is bright on the spine.
