Books I Love
My bookshelves are packed with books relating to all aspects of pottery production, from design to manufacture. The A list includes books I think will be of most interest to figure collectors. The B list is somewhat less pertinent but is by no means irrelevant. I have spared you my C and D lists! Bottom line: I have yet to buy a book that did not repay me several times over by adding to my pleasure and knowledge base. If you need details on full titles, publishers etc., or just more information, ask me at myrna.schkolne@gmail.com
