Brighton Bottles

This is not just a serious manual for the 'would be' bottle collectors but also a light hearted photographic diary

 of our last seven years searching for and recovering Edwardian and Victorian bottles and related items in

England, Scotland and the USA. A 21st century update of Ted Fletchers ground breaking works of the 1970's

in full colour and with the addition of more modern techniques such as the internet/ google earth etc.

"... in the true spirit of Ted Fletchers 'Digging up Antiques' - All along the way there are tips on finding treasure

 in mud and meadows, the tools to use and likely sites. Very much a 'Boys Own' book,

 this being Mole and Mr Toad go bottle hunting. They just love the adventure, always smiling, in all weathers,

 having a great time and wanting to share the enthusiasm.

 Every bottle collector will recognise the tales, (and near death experiences), and every digger should have a copy

 to read under the bedclothes with a torch!" - Editor - British Bottle Review Magazine July 2011

" If you've ever met or spoken to Steve you cant fail to pick up on his passion for the subject.

This is Steve's fourth publication(and second with co'author and digging buddy John Brown),

here they both convey their enthusiasm for all things bottle related within the pages.

The book chronicles their escapades with some very amusing tales and sound advice for followers of the hobby.

 A 'must have' book for the avid bottle digger and collector. Highly recommended.
