The Potter's Dictionary of Materials and Techniques
from Univ of Pennsylvania Pr

Customer Review:

First of all, this is not a "how-to" book. If you want a book on pottery making or throwing techniques, don't buy this book. However, if you want an exhaustive encyclopedia of ceramic information, you need this book. Want to know why your pottery cracked the way it did, this book will tell you why.... more info

Asbestos and Fire: Technological Tradeoffs and the Body at Risk
from Rutgers University Press
Price: $26.84

Customer Review:

This modest-sized book contains much information on the history, properties, manufacture, and value of asbestos.

Introduction to Ceramics, 2nd Edition
from Wiley-Interscience
Price: $154.00

Customer Review:

The book is a comprehensive encyclopaedia of ceramics. However, the authors repeatedly fumble the physics (and seem blind to the fact the units are off in many cases).
Being a physics student, I'm picky about electricity and magnetism, and how the concepts are developed. This isn't too much of... more info

Advanced Fusing Techniques (Glass Fusing, Book 2)
from Vitreous Group
Price: $31.00

Customer Review:

In my opinion, not as valuable to me as Book 1. The book does discuss Advanced Fusing Techniques, but some of the processes are not ones I have ever considered trying. I think the spouse would be a little peeved if I constructed a "glory hole" in the basement. Irridizing my own glass??? I'll skip... more info
