Staffordshire Figures 1780-1840

August 31 is a Big Day for me. It marks both the second anniversary of this blog and the 27th anniversary of the date we moved into our home.  We built our house--and "Build it and they will come" certainly applies to this site. It was born out of my innate need to research, write, and learn....and along the way I have made friendships that have spanned the globe. Many of you have bought and enjoyed my book, and I am so appreciative of all the kind emails I get. I am especially touched when you come back for a second copy to give to someone you know. Best story: a daughter who bought a second copy for her 94 year old mother. How lucky they both are.

If this site has helped you, have you bought my book? If you have a book already, why not buy one as a gift for your local library? Or give one to a friend. Help me share the beauty of some of the finest figures in the world by sharing their pictures and stories with others.

You can buy a book from Amazon, Reference Works in the UK, or from one of the many specialist ceramics dealers. If you buy a copy from this site (click BOOK or go to the top menu bar), global postage is free and you will get a signed copy . If you hate e-commerce and would rather purchase by mailing a check, simply email sales@hotlanepress.com, and you will be assisted every step of the way.
