Collecting Antiquites : An Introductory Guide Charles Ede published by Hollington books, London.
This is just about the only decent introduction to antiquities collecting there is. Charles Ede, who died in May 2002 was the doyen of the UK antiquities dealers.
This book was written in 1989. It has text very suitable for a reasonably new collector and a great number of photographs and some maps and drawings as well. 142 pages, and a good index
I have several brand new copies of the last 3rd impression, printed in 1989
These are difficult to get hold of and when amazon has them they are very expensive!
ALL SOLD !
If anyone knows a "remainder" bookdealer who has any, let me know ..I will buy all of them!

Featuring pieces in the collection of the Toledo Museum of Modern Art, this volume documents the artistic, historical and technological evolution of glass. Each entry is accompanied by a photograph and many have scaled profile drawings to further illustrate form, decoration and technique.
