Well, I'm starting to get serious about building a wood kiln. I'm trying to
read everything I can get hold of to help figure out what exactly I want and
how to build it. Jack Troy's book "Wood-Fired Stoneware and Porcelain"
(excellent book) referenced a couple of out of print books that I want to
get. Before I try the used book dealers, I wanted to see if anyone here has
an unwanted copy they would like to sell. The two books are;

Kilns - 2nd edition by Daniel Rhodes

The Self Reliant Potter: Refractories and Kilns by Henrick Norsker

If you are interested in selling them, please contact me off-list and let me
know how much you are asking. I would, of course, also pay the shipping
costs.

Thanks - Jim in Pennsylvania, contemplating hobs, mouse holes, and flue
sizes.
