Recommended Carnival Glass Reference
Books
The following is a list of recommended
carnival glass reference books. You may wish to purchase some or all of these over time.
Unfortunately having a Library full of reference books on carnival glass will not
guarantee that you will find the exact piece you are looking for - there was simply too
much carnival glass made by too many manufacturers, and unfortunately record-keeping was
not one of their strengths. However, you should be able to answer most of your questions
from these books.
If you need any more information about any of
these books, or would like help identifying a piece of carnival glass, please
contact us.
