Caroline and Hedley Saunders on fri 4 sep 98

There is an excellent book by Fran Tristram, Single Firing The Pros and Cons
published by A and C Black in the UK (ISBN 0-7136-3902-4) and Gentle Breeze
in the US (ISBN 0-9650786-1-2) It is a paperback and costs 10.99 in the UK

In her conclusion she states, "it's quicker, cheaper, more direct, more
efficient and more pleasant to the touch. Besides these practical
considerations, the continuity of thought and process that it engenders
keeps the creative concept fresh in the mind and hands."
