Resource books for company history

[cowseatmaize]

Many people want printed matter, myself included.
I'd like to get a list of the top 50. This is printed books only, no web sites please.
I've got some and I'll amend as best I can as you add them.
I'm looking more to compile a list of research books of companies, glasshouses, people and such that go with the bottles, not lists of bottles or price guides. If there is a good mix of the two, that's fine.
I will add a couple list books but I'd like to stay away from them.
Yes, I'm kind of starting over from a previous post.[]

Early Glassworks of California 2011

This book gives the complete history of the glass houses that manufactured bottles during the 19th century in California which supplied the Pacific Coast bottle market in limited quantities, to include food bottles, proprietary medicines, liquor bottles, bitters, soda water, inks, insulators, canning jars, etc. From the inception of the first commercial glassworks in 1859 to the demise of the largest glass factory in 1899.

BARBER, Prof. “AMERICAN GLASSWARE - OLD AND NEWâ€
Philadelphia PA 1900

That's an amazing list Red but the quote above sounds great being written before the full ABM method, I'll look into that. Many of what you listed are in fact articles, even without the ** as you indicated. Quite a few are bound into a book titled "American Glass from the Pages of Antiques, Two Volumes in One". It's a great compilation that steve/sewell first recommended some time ago.
