Hi Folks,
This publication has been out for about a year, but has not been heavily promoted to date … So I thought I would take the time to bring it to your attention:
Bottled in Illinois: Embossed Bottles and Bottled Products of Early Illinois Merchants from Chicago to Cairo 1840–1880
Authors: Kenneth B. Farnsworth and John A. Walthall (2011, 816 pp.)
This is a monumental work that includes over 1100 glass and stoneware bottle varieties that were produced in Illinois between 1840-1800. This is a hardcover volume of more than 800 pages, with approximately 3000 color images. Although specific to Illinois-marked and manufactured specimens, the basic typology and information should be useful throughout the U.S., with detailed information about containers, products, and manufacturers. This not just an antique collector picture book!
And even though I am employed by the parent firm responsible for its publication, I am promoting this book simply on its merits … A more detailed description and ordering information can be found on our website:

Thanks for your attention,
Mark

"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their
faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving
only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their
cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste
of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to
make plans." - E. Hemingway
