Glass in Canada

Plot

"The original objective of Glass in Canada was to provide a vehicle for historians and researchers that would help reawaken an interest in one of Canada's oldest industries. The important part the industry has played in the development of our great country would become self-evident as the reader progressed through the chapters. In developing his ideas, however, Tom King soon discovered that he was also creating a primer for the lay person and handbook for Canadian glass collectors. Mr. King was determined from the outset that the book would be non-technical. Glass in Canada is the first definitive book to cover in depth all aspects of Canadian glass production -- containers, tableware, industrial ware, flat glass, commericial handblowing and studio glass blowing. Over 70 glass operations have been researched and hundreds of glass personalities have been identified."--Provided by publisher.
