 The 11th edition
of the venerable Standard Encyclopaedia of Carnival Glass by Mike Carwile
is now on sale.
This
is the first edition published by Mike Carwile on his own, without Bill
Edwards.
This
11th edition introduces around 75 new patterns and over 245 replacement
photographs which have been upgraded with digital images for improved
clarity, bringing this edition's total to over 2,000 colour patterns.
Grading information as well as new sections on base/feet identification
and 'Inca Bottle' variations are also included. The bound-in price guide
also includes virtually every piece of carnival glass ever made with
indicative values given for various colours in each pattern. A multitude
of both American and non-American companies are represented, and brief
biographies on companies such as Dugan, Fenton, Imperial, Northwood,
Cambridge, Westmoreland, Fostoria, Heisey, McKee, Jeannette, and the U.S.
Glass Company are included.
If
you only buy one carnival glass reference book, this should be the one.
The
encyclopaedia can be purchased on-line from Collectors Books in the USA -
