Nadja Maril: American Lighting - 1840-1940 (Hardcover, 1995, Schiffer Publishing) No rating

Interesting, but short shrift to the last two decades.

Many photos, interesting text. The overlapping story of gas and electric was well laid out. My quibble is it only briefly mentions the glass lamp bases made in the depression--which was a significant change from the metal bases common since oil was replaced with gas and electric--and shows none of them. That is, of course, the time frame and type I am most interested in! Ah well.
