Mollie Helen McCain is one of America's recognized authorities on pattern glass. Her other books on the market, as well as her first edition of this book, have been very successful, and this new edition will be no exception. This large comprehensive volume contains hundreds of illustrations of patterns and a complete pricing system for thousands of pieces of pattern glass. Designed for ease in identification of early American glass, this book presents patterns according to molded characteristics -- circles, stars, plants, flowers, etc. -- so that collectors who don't know pattern names can easily locate pieces. All known names for patterns are given, and all patterns have been cross-indexed for the reader's convenience. In addition, lists of other books of patterns are provided. The book is divided into sections, including animals, circles, diamonds, facets, flowers, fruit, hobnails & beads, panels, people, plants, ribs & columns, squares & rectangles, shells, odds & ends. Pattern glass collectors must add this inclusive new guide to their bookshelves.

The first section describes and illustrates all the classic patterns from A to Z. Entries include a listing of known shapes and colors in each pattern, along with a price range and rarity guide for each particular item. Values are carefully averaged to eliminate unusually high or low selling prices. A 32-page color section, entitled "Learning About Carnival Glass", shows all the colors, including the rarer ones. Other topics in this section include "How Carnival Glass Was Made", and "Sorting Out Peacock and Urn Patterns". Chapters are also devoted to special categories of carnival glass: Lettered Pieces, Vases, Novelties & Miniatures, Decorated Carnival, Lamps & Shades, Hatpins, and Contemporary Carnival. The book also contains an index to the color section as well as a "pattern by shape" index for easy reference.

“An intriguing amalgam of personal memoir, philosophical speculation, natural lore, cultural history, and art criticism.” —Los Angeles Times From the award-winning author of Orwell's Roses, a stimulating exploration of wandering, being lost, and the uses of the unknown Written as a series of autobiographical essays, A Field Guide to Getting Lost draws on emblematic moments and relationships in Rebecca Solnit's life to explore issues of uncertainty, trust, loss, memory, desire, and place. Solnit is interested in the stories we use to navigate our way through the world, and the places we traverse, from wilderness to cities, in finding ourselves, or losing ourselves. While deeply personal, her own stories link up to larger stories, from captivity narratives of early Americans to the use of the color blue in Renaissance painting, not to mention encounters with tortoises, monks, punk rockers, mountains, deserts, and the movie Vertigo. The result is a distinctive, stimulating voyage of discovery.
