This book has been out of print for 35 years and is one of the most difficult glassmaking books to find. In fact, it is so hard to find that even the Scholes Library at Alfred University still only had a photocopy of it when I moved to Georgia from Alfred, NY in 2007.
My particular book formerly belonged to the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and was officially removed from their collection at some point in the past. The book I have is in near new condition aside from the library markings and sticker it has. (I spoke to a librarian at SAIT recently to confirm that it was an official discard, and not a stolen book.) This is the actual hardcover book, NOT a photocopy.
Price - $325 (Anyone familiar with this book and how rare it is will understand why.)
