Was in a Different Antique Shop and wondered if this book on Glass was

Anything to "write home" about....I was just browsing about, looks like it's 1860-70, & has a $14. pencil price mark in the top inside corner.....or is it too old to be of any use?

​

 

Those dates are for the piece of glass shown on the front cover. It was published in 1983. Looks like $4 to me, and still probably not worth getting. Plenty of copies online.

 

c. 1860-1870 is the date of the item pictured on the front cover, not the date the book was published. The book itself appears to be 1970s. Think $14 a bit overpriced given this:

Gotcha!! Thank you both!! Didn't quite notice that little bit!! And I didn't buy it....just browsing....already have too many books to eliminate!!!

 

The book itself is apparently overpriced and old, but the information is still good.

 

I would think so too.

Maybe it IS only $4.......just the way I read it!!!!

 

You know... Does look like $4. That's a much more appropriate price.
