I'm looking for a glaze book that is now out of print titled "Glazes for
Special Effects" by Herbert Sanders. Does anyone out there know where one
can be purchased?
Thanks

I've used Advanced Book Exchange which is a free search service for out of
print books very often. You can use their search engine to see if any are
available presently. Also you can use the search engine to notify you by Email
if it becomes available at a later date.

Dan:
This text was published by Watson-Guptill, NY, in 1974. ISBN
0-8230-2134-3. It has been out of print but might be found by a good
used book dealer. Sanders chapters on crystals, luster and copper
reduction are valuable. He also has weaker chapters on woodash and
undergalze decoration. His chapter on raku is not much. He didn't do
any raku until he wrote the book. I believe the publisher pushed him
to include the weaker chapters in order to promote the book.

I got one about 4 months ago from amazon.com (the internet book store) They
found a copy through their out of print search service. It cost me about
$60. A book dealer I know said that any good book store can search for out
of print books and if you will pay the price you can get it. This book
originally sold for about $10 in the 70's. A lot of people want this one as
it has chapters on crystalline glazes. Pity that many of the ingredients
can not be obtained through the usual dealers. You have to make your own
frits to use a lot of the formulas.Anyone ever try this?

check Amazon.com - if they don't have it, try the new/used book store
Powell's in Portland - both are on the web, I think at:
http://www.amazon.com
http://www.powells.com
I know Amazon is right, not sure about Powell's. I always shop with
Amazon since I found them.

Dear Fred, I haven't done much work with the crystilline glazes, but I
have recalculated all of Sander's copper red glazes to simplify the recipies.
I don't know why he was so fond of using tiny percentages of many
ingredients, for instance 2 or 3 feldspars, when the same formula could be
achieved with one. He also included frits in lots of the recipies when they
are not really need (if you don't mind using gerstley borate). Some others
are easily recalculated with common, redily available frits.
In the May 1978 Ceramics Monthly, then editor William Hunt wrote an article
on frits that included pages and pages of frit formulas. That has been my
information source for the frits I've never heard of when recalculating a
glaze.
If you can calculate glazes and have the formulas for the old frits, it
should be no problem to develop recipies that use common frits.

I like "Ceramic Tests and Calculations" by A. I. Andrews.
I am sure it is out of print but can be found.
Cheers, John.
