Anyone have Michael Cohill's M.F. Christensen and the Perfect Glass Ball Machine? Were many printed? Does it have pictures? Anyone know the status of the other books they were working on?

Thanks,
Dave

Dave, I sent Micheal an email to the address that I had for him...........hopefully it's still valid. Wink

When I was trying to get a copy of the publication several years ago, Micheal told me then that he had re-written it . He said that they planned to release it and with several other publications on other companies, in the near future.

Brian Graham (akronmarbles.com) also might be able to tell us a little more.

Hi Dave,
I have listed my Cohill book- M.F. Christensen and the Perfect Glass Ball Machine on eBay. It is item 110163807012.
The book is complete with the color photos. I bought it at the Columbus show in 1990 when Cohill first offered them for sale.
It is listed to start at $9.99 with no reserve.

Didn't notice this thread before - I bet your book will bring good money Lloyd.
The MFC book was updated and at last count was about 250 pages; not including images. It unfortunately still only resides on two computer harddrives. It will be published some day - right now we are working on long term developments for The American Toy Marble Museum. I think we will count our 100,000 visitor in a few weeks.

Yup, I'll bet that it will go for good money also. I know of several people that have been trying to get a copy of it. Smile

Here's a link to Lloyd's ebay listing.

Thanks for the link Lizzy.

I have learned a lot from TMM's posting tutorials. I have added my avatar pic and signature- even got a few pics in my last post. Maybe next time I will be able to add my own link.
