Review:
This is the third volume in a three-volume series, spanning 50 companies from Kanawha to Wright Glass companies. These books are undoubtedly the most comprehensive on the market. Crisp photographs and thorough facts about each candlestick are provided, along with current collector values. Other reference materials can't hold a candle to this one. More than 1,000 color photos and over 200 reprints from old trade journals and advertisements light up the book.
