Yes, it was published in Britain and only on the British manufacturers - Sowerby, Davidson, Greener, Heppell. It seems that Millicent loved to write and publish her own books - she wrote at least four cooking books for her local church all with similar titles 'Honey's book on ...' Clearly she was passionate enough about pressed glass to go to the cost of writing her own book, a bit like how we write websites and blogs - the information is minimal and quite basic - although accurate and the photos show more unusual (although not rare) pieces featuring some commemoratives, slag in unusual colours, nursery rhyme pieces, ribbon plates etc. Probably nothing that can't be found in the other books, but I love that she wanted to share what she knew and her collection, even if it didn't feature the flashy pieces (Queen's Ware, the M&W sphinx).
I got it in the late 90's/early 00's when it was almost impossible to find pressed glass books, or they were silly money. Hope this helps
