Venini Glass Book & Glass Books in general
Sklounion:
Peter wait a couple of weeks, and i'll let you know when my copy arrives. I have the same question regarding the Murano book featuring the Steinberg Foundations collection... any good, or coffee table clutter????
If it is worth having, have found a remainder source, selling at £20.
Bernard C:
Marcus,
At GBP 20.00, that Steinburg Foundation book is a bargain. It has some studio one-offs in it, but mostly standard production glass, including many of the famous designs by Bianconi for Venini and other glassworks. At least all the photographs are new. You don't have the problem of Miller's / Octopus constantly recycling them.

Sklounion:
If hunting for exhibition catalogues as reference material, never assume that they are sold out, or that the cheapest offering on eBay, or a book-site, will render the best deal. Recently searched for glass catalogues, dealers, upwards of 45€, gallery still had some, 9 years later, 21€.
Research, it is amazing what it throws up :lol:
Glassmaster:
I've posted some book suggestions at http://www.boglewood.com/murano/library.html including my own recent book "Murano Magic: Complete Guide to Venetian Art Glass, its History and Artists" (Schiffer, 2004).

Sklounion:
Is this just a hare-brained idea, but would it be useful to have a glass book review forum?
I'm looking at this from the perspective of seeing others writing on such things as Parkington 1 & 2, (Yes, I know now, auction catalogues) but I'm sure others might want a view of whether it would be useful to have a copy. I have bought the European Glass in Use catalogue, and if people would find feed-back on it useful, will post a review soon.
