 THE
BOOK ABOUT GLASS
In
2005 Glafo published a new book on glass in Swedish.
The principal target group of the book are glassworkers and students
at glass schools. However, it is also useful for anyone wanting to know
more about glass, especially the Swedish glass manufacture.
Great care has been taken to write a book that is easily read and profusely
illustrated. A 1 700 word index makes it easy to look up different glass
words and concepts.
