Our Publications
About our publications
We began in the 1990s, writing articles for glass and antiques magazines such as the Glass Collector, and we also launched our own Carnival Glass journal (“Network”) which we published to a worldwide readership for 8 years. We have written and illustrated three "coffee table" books about Carnival Glass collectors, published by Schiffer: "Carnival Glass, The Magic and The Mystery" (expanded and fully revised, 2009), "The Art of Carnival Glass" (2001) and "A Century of Carnival Glass" (2004).
During 2005-08 we published a series of three CDs on Sowerby glass.
Glen also took time out from writing and researching Carnival Glass to write a very personal and emotional true story about the Royal Air Force in World War II - "A Brief Sweet Life".
From 2011 onwards we have published this trilogy of 3 e-books on Carnival Glass made in Finland, Sweden and Norway:

Riihimäki - Carnival Glass from
Finland e-book 
It was thought that Riihimäki’s Carnival Glass output was small and their colours were limited. Not so! In this comprehensive e-book we illustrate in stunning pictures over 60 Riihimaki patterns; from ALBIAN to ZIZZLE, each one is fully referenced to source catalogues from 1915 onwards. Shapes, sizes and colours of all patterns currently reported in Carnival are featured, and much more.... over 200 photographs, 170 catalogue images with our “smart pictorial index”. An amazing resource.
“Everything you need to know about Riihimäki, finally all brought together in one e-book.” |
Carnival Glass from Karhula, Iittala, Høvik Glassverk e-book
This is our latest e-book, which is full of new information and recent revelations about these three glassmakers, and their exceptional output.
Their history and background are explored, provoking fascinating discoveries and an astonishing amount of previously un-reported information is brought to light about these three factories. Complete with our “smart pictorial index” that provides the reader with immediate visual identification of patterns and live links directly to them. |
The e-books each comes as a PDF that can be read on all computer systems. They can be purchased as an easy download (£10 each) or on a CD (£12 within the UK, or £13.50 elsewhere in the world, including post & packing).
