The replies to my request for everyone's three all-time favorite pottery-
related books are trickling in. How about a sudden surge of them so I can
finish this survey & tell y'all the results? Would like to finish by Aug. 1.

"Hamers" is ahead by a landslide - I just ordered from Amazon - they quote
$49.95 as "list" and their price was $34.97 - shipping & handling were only
slightly higher than the sales tax I would have paid locally, which they
did not charge!

Send your list of your three favorite pottery related books, technical or
otherwise, to:
amyp@sd-software.com

Thanks! I am enjoying the notes that many of you have added as well!

Is "Hamers" the actual title of this book? I did a search on Amazon and the only
thing I came up with is: Bilinguality and Bilingualism ~ Josiane F. Hamers,
Michel H.A. Blanc / Paperback / Published 1989. I'm guessing this isn't it:)
When you have a chance, could you post the full name and author of this book? If
it's that popular I'd love to see it! :)

Does anyone recommend an excellent book on airbrushing techniques specifically
relating to clay work -- i.e., underglaze and glaze applications? The more
basic the better, since I've never tried this and have the (brand new) equipment
collecting dust since Christmas (my in-laws give GREAT gifts -- so supportive
are they!).
