Hard Cover Full Gloss. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. ### The Observer's Book of Glass by Mary & Geoffrey Payton 1992 ## ## THIS BOOK: Classified as VERY GOOD: This edition was published in 1992, first published by Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd. The laminated hardcover is called a 'Glossie'. The same quality of content and images are now in colour, black-and-white and halftones, bringing the illustrations up to date, and it looks like a higher resolution of the printing method is also up to date. They feel quality and can stand up to use far better than before.## READ ON for more information ## ## "The Observer's Book of Glass" by Mary & Geoffrey Payton is a fascinating exploration into the world of glass¹. This book, published by Bloomsbury Books in 1992, offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and appreciating the art and history of glassmaking. The book is a treasure trove of information, providing insights into the various types of glass, their origins, and their uses¹. It is profusely illustrated with 95 halftone illustrations and eight pages of colour plates, making it a visually appealing read for beginners and field experts.## ##Mary and Geoffrey Payton, the book's authors, have done an excellent job presenting the subject matter in an engaging and informative manner. Their passion for the subject is evident in the depth and breadth of the content covered in the book.## ## The Observer's Books were a series of small, pocket-sized books published by Frederick Warne & Co. in the United Kingdom from 1937 to 2003. They covered various topics, including hobbies, art, history and wildlife. These books aimed to interest the observers and have also been popular amongst children. Some of them have become collector's items. This could be a lifetime's work for the dedicated collector, as there are over 800 variations, some of which are now rare. The values of the books can vary from 50 pence to hundreds of pounds.## ## Until 1969, printed books had dust covers. Each one had a unique pattern of squiggly lines at the top, but these were not especially practical because they were easy to rip and stain. From 1970, the covers received a glossy coating. Books of this type are generally called "Glossies". From the late 1970s, Warne decided to laminate the book to the actual books, making them sturdier and more resistant to wear.## ## The first Observer's Guide was published in 1937 and was on the subject of British birds. A mint copy with a dust cover is worth hundreds of pounds; a British wild-flowers book was produced; a mint copy of this book is worth around £220. More titles were published when this popularity was recognized. 'uniform in the series', but during World War II, productions were limited due to paper and labour shortages. By 1941, Warne had published the first six Observer books.## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY. Please get in touch with me for a shipping quotation. ####.
