[Denise · Rating 5 out of 5]

A staple in the industry. A bevy of wonderful technical information for the potter put in a digestible form.

[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

A book for the proffessional potter. Good pointers on all types of glazing (not so good on once firing). Unfortunately, no pictures of the glazes, just descriptions.
