Bulding a Glass Library

2014 RESOLUTION

We’ve had this question posed. Can you make some suggestions?

I’m a Carder glass collector. However, one of my 2014 New Year Resolutions is to expand my personal American glass library.

Reference books are expensive and I don’t want to waste my money so I am looking for help and suggestions. I plan to add two books in each of the following categories in 2014. Could anyone please make recommendations as to titles and authors in these categories I should acquire and why?

General American Glass History and Reference
Cutting and Engraving
Tiffany
Pairpoint
Hawkes
Dorflinger
Sinclaire
Durand

I’m going to try to focus my acquisitions on Carder’s time period so other suggestions are welcome as well.
