Milk Glass: An Encyclopedia for New Collectors

With any hobby, whether its quilting, crafting, woodworking or bird watching there comes a certain amount of research and learning that’s necessary to make it enjoyable and in reality, to keep you from getting taken when its time to buy that new piece that you need to help you advance in the hobby. There is a learning that’s required of anything we do,that helps us along in our pursuit of it, and glass collecting is no exception to that.

Additionally, its quite often necessary to have some type of research manual with you, when you can’t take the internet along. That’s of course where a book is going to come in handy. While many of you will smile and say that you don’t take books with you to purchase your glassware, I’d be willing to bet that you may not do it now, but at one time you did.

We have all been new at something and having a few books to help us along, particularly when we’re purchasing a product that we admittedly don’t know everything about, isn’t at all a bad idea. I get a great many of my own collecting and genealogy type  books at Amazon, the prices aren’t bad and in most cases you can also find them used as well as new.

If you’re into Milk Glass, or think you want to be I certainly recommend the Collector’s Encyclopedia of Milk Glass.

Its a fairly comprehensive guide to the ins and outs of the milk glass that you’re going to find out there, how to tell whats what and make sure that what you’re getting is actually milk glass. It features a lot of detail on milk glass beginning in the 30′s, including Fenton and others, as well as a wide array of photos that will help you to get to know your new passion.

If you have any leanings toward collecting actual milk glass, I’d highly recommend getting it in order to assure that you get what you pay for. Get your copy today:
