Well just wrote you about the books I felt I should buy, and it came out that I should buy all but one. The composition got deleted, so this is a restart. We are in New York State, right now and I was taking a book inventory here to decide which ones to take to Florida. Being in two places every year is a crazy thing to do, but it is based on what the geese do every year, and when we hear them honking, I tell the wife we better start packing. We have done that for over 40 years now. I already have #5. which is a great book. If you read in my home page, her book answered a question I asked in a big nation wide management meeting - that nearly got me fired - her book answered the question, for me. About who, when and why - they started chilling the cavities of cast iron bottle molds.So I guess I should buy all of them, and delay shipping until October. Having them shipped to Florida, after we get there.If some are sold already -that would be too bad, but understandable. I would cover the cost as soon as I can - and probably do it in two mail orders to you - between now and then. You can email me at <bottlemysteries@yahoo.com> another thank you. RED Matthews

Repacing #7 withCollecting The Cures, Bill Agee ©1969. Some marking in pen or pencil.andCollecting All Cures, Bill Agee ©1973. Same may applyBoth volumes but no longer are these sold separately. I need to sell them all or loose my internet.$200 shipped for all.These are all very comprehensive and expensive to buy separately. Check the prices at amazon etc.. It's half what I paid for them also.

Hello my friend, Boy we seem to have a connection. If you still have any books, let me know and I will get back to you. I have a lot of them, but there are some I don't have. RED

Hello Eric. I guess I was corn-fused. This was an old post - so at this point I don't know if you sold all of your books or not. I am always interested in early books about early glass making, and have a good library that I have read. I sincerely feel bad about your problems - because I think {KNOW} you do a heck of a lot for the Forum. So - just keep me posted - if I can I want to. RED M.
