Blackburn Press would like to announce the reprinting of three classics in
the first quarter 2005:



Indian Life at the Old Missions by Edith Buckland Webb ISBN 1-932846-04-2
326 pages



Originally published in 1952 and then reprinted in 1982, Indian Life at the
Old Missions remains a frequent feature of Native American bibliographies.
Filled with detailed photographs and fine line drawings, Indian Life
describes the life of the Native Americans who founded California, yet were
destined to be forgotten as settlers took over their land. The author
presents an authentic picture of the life of the Indians from the time when
the Spanish explorers first saw them until the missions were secularized in
1837.

Bottle Makers and Their Marks by Julian Harrison Toulouse ISBN 1-930665-34-2
624 pages



Dr. Toulouse, in this reprinted classic work, brought the finitely evolved
world of the bottle makers into sharper focus. Collectors are not only able
to date their bottles, but they may learn the often fascinating histories of
the glass companies that produced them. Bottle collectors knew the author as
an astute researcher; in this work he gathered over 900 older marks and more
than 300 modern marks, hand lettered for the most part, to better convey the
actual markings on the bottle. The markings are organized into a
dictionary-like format, with extensive cross-references, to facilitate quick
identification of collectors' bottles by their marks. Dates, company
histories, and human interest vignettes included in the listings combine to
make bottles much more rewarding to possess and collect. There is also a
section on foreign marks to make this guide as complete as possible.

Marks of American Potters includes the marks used by factories, patterns,
workmen, or decorators in America to the time of this book's original
printing in 1904. The book is divided by state or region and gives a brief
history of each potter and includes black and white photos.  This classic
book is an invaluable reference for archaeologists and collectors.
