A guide and reference to early soda and mineral bottles of the Old West.This is a reprint and update of Peck & Audie Markota's "Early Soda and Mineral Bottles of the Old West." Markota's book(s) are valuable references but was completed before the use of computers as we know them today. Jeff Wichmann's American Bottle Auction catalogs are too valuable to waste the excellent photos of rare bottles.With the additional listings of unlisted bottles from the collections of Mike Southworth, John O'Neill, John Louder, Richard Siri and Rick Siri it places more information into this endeavor.That being said; I consolidated the information presented in each book and have created a reference guide in color to assist local collectors.

"A Beachcomber's Journal" is a photographic guide to a large collection of items, most of which have been found around the coastline in Monifieth, Angus, Scotland. It explores the history and origins of these finds as well as highlighting the environmental impact of marine pollution. It also provides a window into the past 100 years or so of what we ate and drank and reflects upon the changing tastes throughout the decades. The finds are from 2018 through to early 2022 and are grouped into types. It covers the effects on the marine environment in particular of the Covid 19 Pandemic from lockdown in early 2020 when the world became a much quieter place through to 2022 when freedoms were gradually restored and life began to be more "normal ". Once the most severe travel restrictions were lifted, there was a huge influx of visitors to what had previously been quiet beaches and a noticeable effect on the environment. This book raises awareness of what history literally lies beneath our feet as well as appreciating the natural beauty to be found on our beaches. We can all play our part in helping to protect the environment, both for marine life and for future generations.

The most comprehensive monograph available on the greatest living glassblower, Lino Tagliapietra. Lino Tagliapietra has been described as the world's greatest glassblower, a figure born from the five-hundred-year-old culture of Venetian glass, but one who also revolutionized glass as a discipline, inventing new techniques to create his masterful works. Even more astonishing, as Tagliapietra hit his full stride, he has become a notable figure in the unfolding story of modern sculpture - an artist whose distinctive works are coveted by collectors of contemporary abstract art and whose vision makes us think about art history in new and profound ways. This is the most comprehensive monograph available on his work and features insightful texts by Glenn Adamson and Henry Adams, as well as hundreds of new photographs, which showcase the impressive breadth and depth of Taglipietra's repertoire.

"It may start with just one special piece that catches your eye and captures your heart, stirring an affection that quickly grows into an assemblage so dear, its sentimental value is beyond calculation. Whether it is a passion for exquisite linens, sterling silver, or fine English china--or simply the thrill of the hunt--that entices us to sift through old attics and antiques shops, estate sales, and European brocantes, we are kindred spirits, linked by an unbridled fervor for curating our favorite things"--Publisher marketing.
