GLASS REFERENCE SITES
Scotland's Glass - Ysart Glass - Glass Zoo - Glass StudyThe above sites offer one of the best subscription deals for glass information. Digitising many out-of-print publications which are then searchable, giving easy access to books and magazines and catalogues which otherwise are simply not available, or take serious travel to find, these sites are worth supporting. For a summary of the sites' contents please read the topic on the Glass Message Board here:
