Hi Bryn,

No idea why I never saw this before  :?

Much better picture than the one I have. I do  have a complete revision of the Strathearn, post Ysart period, to be done. Just a matter of finding the time.  :cry:

Title: books on scottish items
Post by: wrightoutlook on September 12, 2006, 12:07:53 AM

What are the 3-5 best books on Scottish glassmaking, with a strong emphasis on paperweights. Trying to find books that concentrate on the Ysart- Vsart -Monart output. Nothing on British - general U.K. - or Perthshire needed.

Ysart Glass: Me and others
Scottish Paperweights: Bob Hall.
The Art of the Paperweight: Perthshire: Selman (Covers Vasart)
Paul Ysart Paperweights (Title unknown): Colin Mahoney (Soon)

There is no fifth.

Thanks again Frank. Are you selling copies of your book on eBay? Or elsewhere?

I'm also going to have to get the Bob Hall Scottish book. I like his output. His World Paperweights: Millefiori & Lampwork is superb. You can tell there's a personality behind the writing and he's not just about advancing his own agenda, unlike other books, especially by a certain chap I won't mention.

I sell them via the website, but Selman is selling new copies on eBay at $140, he can't have many left. I have about a dozen left

Thanks. Unlike the unnamed chap I alluded to above, I'm sure there's a personality on display in your book.

Don't forget my Stuart Strathearn pages are not complete. More sizes were certainly made.

The very reason I posted the item Frank, to assist you towards that eventual completion, and to show that the items shown on the site were also made in other sizes.
