Hi Boxed

A short guide was printed a couple of years ago authored by Brian Slingsby and Judy Taylor with the proceeds going to charity.

That is now sold out but I believe you may be able to get a pdf file of the publication for a charity donation.

Person to contact is Tony G who is a member of this board. Go to his profile page and click on the envelope icon and this will allow you to send him an e-mail.

Best regards

Derek

Hi ,
                 I can send you a copy of "Whitefriars Paperweights Collector's Guide" by Brian Slingsby and Judy Taylor as a pdf file on a disc.

It costs £2 to cover disc and postage costs plus a £10 contribution to Brian's favourite charity. So £12 all in.  The guide is 39 pages of great information with colour photos of almost all Whitefriars paperweights, issue numbers and comments. I can also send you a few photos of unique items which we now know of, that weren't available when Brian wrote his guide.

Let me know your e-mail etc. and I will send the odd page as an example.

Cheers,

Tony

Hi Tony,
You could put this on the document downloads section on glass-study.org. Add an example page as free download and the full pdf at whatever price you want. You need to register on the site and add a paypal account when uploading document to receive payment. Completely free service and payment from buyers goes direct to your paypal.
