Elegant glassware is a large sector of the collectibles market. The most sought after manufacturer is Heisey, with glassware dating back to 1896. The most popular of Heisey's patterns is Grecian Border (aka Greek Key), but to date there had been no publication devoted strictly to this widely collected pattern. Other published references on Heisey Glass do not do justice to what was the broadest and most complex of the Heisey patterns.
This book traces the origin of Greek Key, covers the Heisey Grecian Border pattern in detail, and provides grading and pricing information that will be helpful to the beginning collector as well as the seasoned professional. |

CITYRATS CityRats is an action-packed, crime novel that tears its way through the tenements and streets of New York City during the 50's and 60's. This was a transitional period when immigrants and veterans alike were starting their families after WWII. Life was good, but there was also an undercurrent of violence. School children played in the streets and learned life's lessons the hard way. The reader is immediately plunged into Nick's fear and anxiety as an eye surgeon spreads his eyelids with a speculum and hesitantly announces that the 14-year old boy's eye must be removed. What unfolds during and after the surgery is an unforgettable journey down memory lane that is juxtaposed against gang wars, bar fights and mobster intrigues. CityRats bridges the gap between the good old days and these turbulent times. It is a "how to" survival manual that enlightens as it entertains. But, above all it is about self-discovery and values. |
