Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to add a book that I picked up arbitrarily at Barnes and
Noble. It's called
The Potter's Directory of Shape and Form by Neal French. I've taken it
to class and everyone who's seen it has run out to buy it. Basically it
covers all basic forms and their nuances. It does a great job showing
handles, spouts and it gives you over 600 designs at a glance. It runs
about $20 (US).

The books I write in this list, are these ones, that except being good, I
could read them without running too many times to the dictionary. I follow
