I need some help please - I'm looking for a specific reference in there and to know if there is a photograph accompanying the reference.
I have hundreds of books but not this one...  anyone willing to help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

No worries - I finally managed to find the particular paragraph online.
but if you have the book I'm still interested to know if there was an image to accompany it.
Many thanks

Thanks Anne - have found the reference wording I need though, and don't want to pay that much for one photograph because it's probably not an image of what I need.
I just wondered if someone had it and could tell me what the image on a particular page is as online reference doesn't show the image, but does the relevant wording.  The image could be of any number of things on the page prior if you see what I mean.

ah, I've found the photo references as well now :) of course it shows every item discussed in the list APART from the one item I'm interested in seeing a photo of.

What is the reference, m? I have the book. Could still be worth checking.

thanks Kev, but I realised from the wording that what I'm looking for has no picture and then I found the images and lo, it's not there.
I've ordered another book that is specific to what I'm looking for and will have the picture in.

Thanks for offering though :) that's very kind.

M, I have the entire book as a PDF (legitimate copy) if you want it. Same applies to anyone else - just email me using the envelope icon.

Thanks M - nothing has come through yet. However, as you've found out, I got the books muddled and it was a PDF of Apsley Pellat's book that I have, but I do have an original copy of The Principles of Glass-Making by Powell, Chance and Harris, which also has plenty of illustrations.
