I was a little remiss Andy in not quoting my sources properly  -  something that shud be done always if you make reference to specific books.    To put the matter right, and for the benefit of anyone who is interested, I will do the bibliography correctly this evening  -  unless of course someone else wishes to quote the details for both volumes in the next 3 or 4 hours.   cheers.

just for the record then:    Both books by Barrie Skelcher and published by Schiffer.
one...........'The Big Book of Vaseline Glass'  -  published 2002.
two...........'Vaseline Glassware - Fascinating Flourescent Beauty'  -  published 2007.
I'm not qualified to comment on the technical aspects of the books  - but wud say that I have enjoyed both, and they do give a very good assortment of images of uranium glas styles/types.   Price wise they were originally in the area of about US$40., but I suspect they are available secondhand for less.
