Y'er right!
Robert, Ronald, Donald --- "Moldmaking for Ceramics is the best one out
there - though there are others that address moldmaking. But none get
into it like Friths book.

Amanda,
The #1 book on the subject for me is the book by Robert Frith,
"Moldmaking for Ceramic's". It's a hard one to even match, much less best.
My $0.02.

Dear amanda watson-will ,
There are two books I can suggest
David Cowley, ""Moulded and Slip Cast Pottery and Ceramics". Batsford
Craft Paperback. ISBN -7134-0972-X.
Gordon Wong and Philip Whitford, "Handmade Potter's Tools" ISBN
0-9733565-0-2. which has interesting notes on the preparation of
plaster.
Ivor Lewis.

Amanda, An excellent book on this, recently published by Lark
Books, is "The Essential Guide to Mold Making & Slip Casting" by
Andrew Martin.

Hey Amanda,
I have to say I'm in agreement with John. The book by Donald Frith is
excellent. If you are thinking of purchasing a book, the Frith book will provide
many solutions.
There are a few others out there. Some old and some new, and they all have
something different to offer. Truthfully I would recommend you try to read a
few if possible.
A case in point: there is a book out there, from the 50's I do believe,
called "Fine Ceramics" by/from Norton(?) that analyzes what we do, slip-casting
that is, from a commercial perspective. It has several chapters on
plaster/gypsum that provide INTERESTING information albeit not directly a "how to make
molds" kind of book.
take care
