What cities or states have a book about their bottles?

[DruggistBottles]

I don’t think this is the NY book mentioned. But is covers a region so I will list it:
Antique Bottle Finds in New England by Virginia T. Bates and Beverly Chamberlain (1968, Book, Illustrated)[/b]
“Peterborough, New Hampshire: Noone House, 1968. Red/white/blue wraps; 80 pp. with more than 150 bottles in bw photographs; A study of blown-in-mold bottles made between 1810 and 1900, with information about early New Hampshire glassworks.â€

Baltimore:
This is from the Baltimore Clubs web site
http://www.baltimorebottleclub.org/book.htm
“The 3rd edition of the Baltimore Bottle Book[/i][/b] contains 217 pages (including 10 color pages) representing 3,206 listings of embossed Baltimore bottles that were manufactured between 1820 and 1990. Grouped by bottle category or type (i.e. Beers, Medicines, etc.), each bottle is described with respect to its size, color, markings and other characteristics as well as its degree of scarcity—Rare, Uncommon, or Common—as determined by category specialists from within the Baltimore Antique Bottle Club[/b]. Because of fluidity in the prices of bottles, no estimates of monetary values are offered.
This 3rd edition updates and expands upon the information presented in the sold-out 1st and 2nd editions, which were published in 1998 and 2002, respectively. Introductions are provided for many categories that explain, among other things, the basis for determining the degree of scarcity. It also marks the first time color photos are displayed in the book.
The Baltimore Bottle Book [/i][/b]was the fulfillment of a vision by William A. “Doc†Andersen [/b]that originated in 1985. Back then, he asked the members of the Baltimore Antique Bottle Club [/b]to “make your own list [of Baltimore bottles] so that someday a comprehensive listing of Baltimore bottles can be published.†Through his leadership, Doc Andersen[/b] called upon the assistance of many club members and others within the bottle community to help produce the book. His wife, Barbara Andersen[/b], designed the attractive covers for all three editions.
Note: The 3rd Edition has been sold out. When we publish a 4th edition, we will update this page.â€

My good friend Arlin Cargill and I are working on a Missouri soda bottle book. It will cover hutches, blobs, ales, & ciders, quarts and half gallons from the 19th century. It should be available and ready sometime this year. We had originally projected it to be done this past year, but with the tornado that came thru my area there was a setback. Alot of things going on that caused the delay. Our goal is to have a good reference on anything in the early soda & mineral waters spectrum from Missouri.

All the best,
~Tim
