Taylor,

Pioneer Pottery is one I've been going back to regularly for about 30
years. To me, that's a good measure of a book's worth, if it bears
revisiting.

Best,

Howdy doodies every bodies,

Okay, this year my sis-in-law has me for a present so I'm having her
call the Potters Shop for a book. Alas, I'm familiar (I think) with so
many books that I can't give her a title. One book on my maybe list is
a book that I'm not familar with (I don't think) titled _Ceramic
Form;..._ by Lane. What's the word from the Ram's Head Pub on this
book?

I'm obsessed with form, weak on glazes/decoration, and in love with
European pots.

My list:
Pioneer Pottery - Cardew
Revealing Glazes - Currie
Ceramic Form... - Lane
Country Pottery - McGarva

Mama Lili, what is that book that no electric firing potter should be
without? I forgot.

kisses

Taylor,
In my opinion, any book by Peter Lane is a visual feast. And I like this one.

Howdy doodies every bodies,

Okay, this year my sis-in-law has me for a present so I'm having her
call the Potters Shop for a book. Alas, I'm familiar (I think) with so
many books that I can't give her a title. One book on my maybe list is
a book that I'm not familar with (I don't think) titled _Ceramic
Form;..._ by Lane. What's the word from the Ram's Head Pub on this
book?

Mine was delivered from the UK last week.
Coloured Glass by W. Weyl.
Recent reprint of the original 1951 classic.
Couldn't wait for the 25 th. Wonderful reading.
Best regards,

Lane's book is very useful, and pretty
informative. Well presented; his books
always are.
