This is a list of Canadian bottle & glass related books old and new which I will continually update. Some of these books are now out of print but if you can find a copy they are a great resource for the bottle collector. If you know of a Canadian book that should be listed here, or if you have a new book and would like to list / advertise it please send me an e-mail with a good quality scan of the cover and the information listed below and I will post it.
