This is a nice survey of Precolumbian Peruvian pottery, which was written as an exhibition catalog for the Fowler Museum at UCLA. I think most of the pots in the book now belong to the Fowler. It's a handsome oversize paperwork which surveys all the major archaeological cultures, with clear photos and illustrations, many in pretty good color. This is a really good introduction to Peruvian prehistory, and well-written too.
The book is said to be out of print, but I bought my copy new at the Fowler a couple of years ago, so have a look if you visit (and you should). I seldom visit without leaving with a sack of very reasonably-priced books....
