......If you were to have only 3 books on ceramics,

Right now, today:
Hamer & Hamer's "Potter's Dictionary of
Materials & Techniques"
Vince Pitelka's "Clay: A Studio Handbook"
Those two for "how" & general reference.
Then one for "why". Leach's book, or
perhaps Yanagi's....or maybe not either of those.
"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"?
Or Wildenhain's "Invisible Core"? Or just some
compilation of images, to remind me of all the
possibility.
Hmmm. "Why" is more difficult to choose, likely
to change with passing days - I'll be like Scarlett:
think about that tomorrow.
