Alert! This
book, "Standard Encyclopedia of Pressed Glass 1860-1930" by
Bill Edwards & Mike Carwile is LOADED
with misinformation about Pressed Glass. We highly recommend that it NOT be used for reference
but if you must use it, please download the HUNDREDS of corrections
off our web site by clicking HERE & understand
that there may be many more errors. IF YOU WRITE ME AND ASK IF I WOULD RECOMMEND THE SUBSEQUENT BOOKS BY THESE AUTHORS - AFTER THE DAMAGE THEY HAVE INFLICTED ON THE EAPG WORLD ----- YOU NEED COUNSELING! |
