Author Alan Slavich's new book "Reflections of a Glass Maker" offers a rare look at the flat glass industry in the United States as told by an insider
Recent release "Reflections of a Glass Maker" from Page Publishing author Alan Slavich takes readers inside the world of flat glass and the revolutionary process that changed the glass industry forever. Flat glass is vital to everyday life, and Slavich makes readers take a second look at the glass that surrounds them every day, rather than through it.
BATTLE GROUND, Wash., June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Alan Slavich has completed his new book "Reflections of a Glass Maker": a unique look into the history and transition of the flat glass industry in the United States. Slavich spent fifty-five years as a glass maker, witnessing the revolutionary transition from flat glass to float glass first-hand in the early 1960s.
Slavich entered the industry at such a unique time and was able to watch as the very old flat glass processes were replaced by the new revolutionary float glass process. He relates experiences with three different companies that utilize the float glass process. He shares some technical data and history of the flat glass industry as well as some humorous instances that occurred along the way. The book gives the reader a comprehensive look at an industry about which most people simply know very little.
Published by Page Publishing, Slavich's book "Reflections of a Glass Maker" was written to capture some of the author's experiences with this fabulous process that he was so intimately involved with for fifty-five years. During his career, Alan received two patents for methods that improved the quality of Low E glass coating production. Being retired, Alan now has time to pursue other passions such as golf, bowling, oil painting, leisure travel, and writing this book. He wants this book to preserve some of the history of glassmaking that would otherwise be lost.
Flat glass is a vital part of our lives, as it provides protection from the elements and views of the world. Readers who wish to learn more about the fascinating world of flat glass for themselves can purchase "Reflections of a Glassmaker" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
