Hillery,

I'm a new collector.  A grad student with a small amount  of money to direct toward this new passion.  What do you recommend I purchase?

Terrance,

I always suggest you buy only the glass - you love and want to live with.  My other suggestion is to study Blenko. An ideal start is the book listed below.  It's out of print, but can be found on Ebay.

Good Luck!

Hillary
