I don't KNOW anything about the book, but I wouldn't buy it because of the
name of the author - Ima Potter
It isn't likely to be a real name.
But I'd be happy to be corrected. Anyone?

No No
What I meant was: When Tony Hansen made a book, it was aesthetic, with nice
picture. This e book I bought was full with lead glazes.
The only advantage I see there is reading from the computer using my translating tool.
You ask me: Should we buy it: I tell you no!
It is more for collectors. I might find something there, but it has been a mistake.
It is hard to open, I had to reboot the computer twice before I could open one of these
books.
Some of the descriptions are excellent while others are far from being helpful: A list of
"typical frits" without their names.
I believe some of you has bought books I have recommended the way I did with your
advises. This time I say: I was the dumb ( At least about the Raw materials book). It
might be good for beginners not better than any of the good books we have. The way
it was seen in their site that it was a full encyclopedia, like the Enacarta.
The only interesting thing was the analysis of the porcelain of Limoges and some
other brands, again, you might buy it and say it is a great book. I think I wasted money.

you are right, the name looks strange, we never heard of. It is quite interesting.
I bought it.
The pictures are not as beautiful as our pictures in the web or the way Tony Hansen
did in the beautiful E book of Fara Shimbo.
Yet it is interesting book.
The glazes he / she offers are terrible full with lead.
On the other hand good explanation about minerals.
You know, I am a strange "animal" ;
I live in Israel where no one ( "potterly") knows me. My ceramic life through the net is
connected to your culture. This book will help me to understand some of the names in
the history of ceramics, what I try to say, this book is professional but looks amateur.
