facsimiles of rare ceramics books

Steven Goldate on fri 8 jul 05


Over the years and in the course of my research into the history of pottery, I have acquired a few out-of-print, rare pottery books. These books are quite old, 100-150 years or more and copyright has long expired on them. They are quite rare and unlikely to be available in your average library, or even in a good university or art college library. You can still find some of them online with used booksellers. Prices range from US$ 20 to US$ 1,000.

As a service to academics and other interested researchers, I am offering low-cost, ring-bound facsimile copies of the titles below. Please note that I am charging a small fee, only to cover costs of photocopying, binding and postage. If you are interested in any of these titles, please email me at sgoldate@bigpond.net.au for more info.

Best wishes to all,
Steven
