bottle design

There are very few books out there on the subject:

Art of Perfume
Bottle Design: Beer Wine and Spirits
Absolut: Biography of a Bottle

But really, the pickings are very thin.

Someone needs to come out with a definitive, glossy, yummy book. Let's say based on the last 50 years of bottle design around the world (hell, even limited to North America it would be a fascinating book). Alcohol botttles, perfume bottles, non-alcoholic beverage bottles, maybe even other product bottles like food, shampoo, etc.

Cases in point:

Romance by Ralph Lauren - love the packaging too.
Evian bottle
Lucia Gary's Pinot Noir 2000

And while I'm at it, I think a supporting web site would be wonderful too.

Why?

Because while I was looking around for related links like the ones above, I realized the web also has pretty slim pickings when it comes to this sort of thing.
