Regarding Stephen's book list:



If you can't buy them, you can at least have a look at these books if
you're

lucky enough to have access to the US library system. Ask your librarian
(or

reference librarian if you're in a larger town than me) to order them
for

you on inter-library loan. Stephen's message and list follows.

Friends,



Here are the correct titles for the books recently mentioned about
building

equipment. They are all out of print and hard to find:



Building Pottery Equipment-John Kolb

The Self Reliant Potter-Andrew Holden

The Potters Alternative-Harry Davis

Getting Into Pots-George Wettlaufer



Pioneer Pottery by Michael Cardew, which also contains information on

equipment, has been re-published and was scheduled to be released in

It

is now due out in October.
