Glass Collectors Digest is a wonderful magazine that every two months from 1987 to 2001 presented glass collectors with a wealth of information. Each issue was 96 pages and featured five or six articles (more in earlier years) by leading professional and amateur glass collectors and researchers. Regular columns such as What Is It? which presented readers pieces for identification, Favorite Pieces, which a featured a single item, and Glass News offered regular surprises. There was no scrimping on the color photos and the advertisements are a real plus. Discontinued in 2001 the magazine is valued for the rich content not found anywhere else.
84 issues of Glass Collectors Digest were published but 8 have been long out of print. This set is the remaining 76. These are new copies. Many still have their protective mailing cover present.
