You Must Have This Book in Your Reference Library

What we appreciated most about the Art Glass Nouveau is the 424 full color plates and the thorough descriptions. There is little value in a reference book if you cannot clearly see a good illustration of the subject matter. Small price for a lot of information.
The only negative about the book is the plate description and the plate illustration is not on the same page...which makes it a little cumbersome when using the book. But the beautiful colored illustrations and description more than make up for this little issue.
Thank you also for the terrific service. Sincerely, Julia L. Fairchild

Art Glass Nouveau - A Treat for the Eyes

Art Glass Nouveau was written by a husband and wife team, Lee and Ray Glover. They have photographed museum quality glass art from the late 1800's - 1930. This is the time period art lovers call Art Nouveau - or the new art.The pictures are breathtakingly gorgeous, in full color. The text is outstanding in that it not only gives information about the artist (included are the most famous) but tells some of the details of how the glass was formed. After reading this beautiful book I feel much more knowledgeable about how these treasures were created, yet no less in awe of their creator. I wonder how and from what heavenly body these artists came from. If antique dealors knew of this book, they would certainly be clawing to get at it! Too bad it is out of print! Actually it has been brought back once already, in 1975. It is a delight to view, it is abundant in information, and is well written.
