Your wonderful books inspired me to persist in my quest for pre-prohibition glasses and I now have several hundred and have an appetite for several hundred more! Your books are an invaluable and irreplaceable resource and I now know both of them virtually by heart. I have begun researching my area for the history of the pre-pro distillers and liquor dealers and it has given me a remarkable appreciation for the amount of time and effort that must have gone into Historic Shot Glasses and Old Advertising Spirits Glasses. It was a noble and historic effort and one that is greatly appreciated by all of my collecting colleagues. Thank you SO much.
Collecting old shot glasses is a wonderful hobby that has opened up a new world for me, especially with the advent of eBay. I have been researching the Philadelphia area for the history of the pre-pro distillers and liquor dealers and it has given me an appreciation for the amount of time and effort that must have gone into your books. It was a noble and heroic effort and one that is greatly appreciated by all of my collecting colleagues. Thank you so much. It amazes me how much knowledge and expertise there is across the country and how friendly fellow collectors are. ...--from a collector in Lansdowne, PA, June 2002
