I have noticed that lots of people on the list would like to find used
books. I use a very effective and reliable service provided by Sam Welle=
r
books in Utah. It may take a little time, but they have always been able=
to
provide a used title I have been wanting. They have even found out of pr=
int
books and even new (current) used books. Their email address is
books@samwellers.com, their website, www.samwellers.com. I have seen ot=
her
clayarters providing disclaimers. I don't know why this is done. Today,=
I
am a conformer, so I provide the following disclaimer. I am not associat=
ed
with Sam Weller Books, just a happy customer.

Send postings to clayart@lsv.ceramics.org

You may look at the archives for the list or change your subscription

Moderator of the list is Mel Jacobson who may be reached at
