New Book – The Eye for
Minutia
Featuring the Trends &
Tendencies Research Notes of
Leigh Emmerson
This book has been compiled from
Leigh Emmerson’s personal
research notes gathered and
refined over an eight-year
period and gives a unique
insight into the pattern
identification process. Leigh
was one of the premier
researchers of American
Brilliant cut glass. Leigh was
also a speaker at many national
ACGA Conventions, wrote over
thirty articles for the ACGA
publication 'The Hobstar,'
and was the founder of the
William C. Anderson Study Group

of Evidence'
book. This easy-to-use book

the more experienced cut glass
enthusiast seeking to identify
cut glass patterns of the
American Brilliant Period.
This book has been published in
tribute to Leigh Emmerson by his
family.
