out of print japanese glaze book

My Husband purchased a really nice hardbound Japanese
glaze book in the mid 70's. It had only a color
section in the center of the book with tissue paper
between the 8 or so color leaves of the book. It had a
blue glaze called kenyo on one of the pages. In the
back it had a section of western equivilents to
Japanese glaze chemicals.

Why all of the description? Someone borrowed it out of
the book case in the living room a couple of years
ago. No one I have asked who had access to the books
remembers doing it.

Daily, or at least weekly I hear about the missing
book. does anyone recognize or remember the title so I
can start a search with out of print vendors for a
copy please?
Thanks,

Hello Lena - Would it be The World of Japanese Ceramics - by Herbert Sanders
with collaboration of Kenkichi Tomomoto? It has a colour section of pots in
the middle and but then just 2 pages of colour glaze samples on small pots
including Kinyo. - with tissue paper separating the 2 pages. At the back are
Japanese recipes and then American equivalents. It was my first pottery book
that I bought in 1969.
