Comes on sale as kindle book occasionally.

It's a great book for anyone thinking about the chemicals we use & abuse in glass. Even better for those thinking about (or making) color.

Definite eye-opener on what does what, plus some really great anecdotes about the scientists and others who 'found' the various elements.

Definitely worth a look, IMO.
