BOTTLE AND GLASS HANDBOOK edited by Don Maust, E.G. Warman Publishing Co., PA, 1956.  

This early classic reference provides “a history of bottles showing their various styles, types and uses from ancient times to the present.”   This scholarly text shows the evolution of glass making and how early glass was manufactured.  The bulk of information is on early blown and mold-blown glass.  “Do you want to collect, sell, or trade bottles intelligently?  If so, then this is a most important basic text to start you right.  Here is more pertinent information about all types of bottles, bottle glass making and history in one book than ever before published.”  Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, this book is an invaluable reference for the collector, dealer, or historian of antique glassware.
