3.0 out of 5 stars interesting, if you are from Europe, June 19, 2008
By Dawn (Seattle) - See all my reviews
I found this book to be interesting regarding the history of glass and full of great photos, but a bit irrelevant unless you live in Europe or have access to old European glass. If I travel to Europe, I will find the book helpful as a resource.
