Topic: William Heacock, anyone with knowledge? and D. Tyzack?

[Sklounion]

Is this worth adding to the collection?
William Heacock,
Collecting Glass Research, Reprints & Reviews Volumes 1 & 2.
Are there other volumes?

Anyone have a copy of D. Tyzack, Glass, Tools and Tyzacks? Like-wise, is it a worthwhile purchase?

TIA,

Marcus

Mr Heacock passed away at a young age, leaving several series unfinished.

Tools ones sound good, grab them while you can

Marcus, I have all Heacock's journals. The "Glass Collector" 1-6 and "Collecting Glass" 1 and 2, as well as his very early Pattern Glass Previews. They are interesting - invaluable even - on so many levels.

Heacock would often rush in "where angels fear to tread" yet he had a singularly charming characteristic of making frequent corrections along the way as he acknowledged his mistakes.

The journals are an archive well worth having....in my humble opinion.

Thanks Frank, will be confirming my order.
Glen, your humble opinion carries much weight, thank you.

Marcus:

I would second Glen's opinion on the Heacock books.  The only thing that I would add is that there is a Collecting Glass Volume 3 as well.

I do actually have Volume 3 "Collecting Glass".

I simply appear to have lost the ability to count.  :oops:
