Glass Digest 1997-01

Glass CollectorÂ’s Digest is a wonderful magazine that every two months presented collectors with a wealth of information. Each issue was 96 pages and featured five or six articles by leading professional and amateur glass collectors and researchers. Regular columns such as What Is It? which presented readers pieces for identification, Favorite Pieces which a featured a single item, and Glass News offered regular surprises. There was no scrimping on the color photos and the advertisements were a real plus. Discontinued in 2001 the magazine is valued for the rich content not found anywhere else.

Note that these pages are a work in process. A near complete list of issues will be completed hopefully in the near future.
