ISBN 9781851497218. ¶ Bibliography of Glass is a compilation of 3,500 books and a few important articles on glass and glassmaking.The catalogue, over 30 pages of 450 museums worldwide, that have to do with glass alone will keep you busy for quite a while. I It is a must for museums, universities, libraries and everyone seriously interested in the history and evolution of that wonderful material that is created by fusing dull and common composites such as sand, lime and soda ash. It has always fascinated me that out of such simple materials something so beautiful can emerge, yielding to the hand of the artist or the wish of the consumer. Once it was the favourite material of the mediaeval alchemists in their quest for the Stone of Wisdom and behold: it still produces wonders and is able to inspire some of us for a lifetime!.
