On our
shelves you'll find books
on all aspects of glass. Vessels and beads, art and technical
reference. Glass history, glass artists and companies, glassworking
techniques, glass collecting, ancient glass, modern glass, blown,
painted, cast, etched, cut, stained and leaded glass.
We've
also added an extensive listing of stained glass design references,
recommended by the members of the Stained Glass Network on
Architectural Stained Glass,
an online discussion group hosted by Michigan State University and
facilitated by Betty MacDowell. If you'd like to join the group, you'll
find them listed on our Glasslinks
page.
All of
the books listed and reviewed here have been linked to the vast
inventory of Amazon.com to enable you to buy your
own copies through them. Many of
these books are
out-of-print and hard-to-find. If a book is no longer in print, you may
still find a copy listed for sale by one of Amazon's
network of independent booksellers.
If the
book you want is not
currently offered, don't despair. New books are posted all the time.
Keep checking back, and eventually you will find the books you desire.
We
certainly don't claim to have
everything ever written about glass; not even close. But we do have
quite a few glass titles. We've even got glass books for kids
and some glass-related fiction! So settle into a
comfortable chair, pull a few volumes off the shelf, and start
exploring.

Some titles may not be listed where you
expect to
find them. You'll also find some overlapping of categories, especially
among the "Artists", "History", and "Antique" sections.
One more important note: Our bookshelves
are NOT arranged in alphabetical order (Sorry... we're artists, not
librarians).
Explore. Discover. Enjoy!
Save money with eBooks!
More and more titles are becoming available every day as digital
eBooks...
especially some of the "almost impossible to find" out-of-print
classics!
When you're checking out the books on Amazon.com, be sure to look at
the "other" formats to see if the book is available for Amazon's Kindle
reader. Downloadable Kindle books are almost always cheaper than the
print edition... sometimes as little as 99 cents!
And one of the best things about Kindle
is...
You don't have to buy a Kindle to read
Kindle eBooks!
Amazon offers a free downloadable Kindle reader app for your PC, MAC,
smartphone, tablet or notebook computer.
Of course, the Kindle reader makes it incredibly easy to buy and access
your entire digital library, but why spend the money if you don't have
to?
