Hobart Cowles used to say that if you get one new/useful thing out of a =3D
book it is worthwhile.
To expand a bit on what said earlier. A pound of clay--if one buys by =3D
the 1000 lbs--costs about 31 cents a pound. Looking through several =3D
dealers I'd have to be prepared to pay 50 cents a pound and up, in the =3D
quantities I am able to buy. And of course there is transportation =3D
cost.
Now it certainly is a lot of money to pay $30 or so for a book. But book =
=3D
then equals a 50 lbs box of clay--on the low side. And every pot that =3D
fails because of glaze troubles adds up...Not only clay, but firing =3D
costs.
