A Potter's Companion : Imagination, Originality, and Craft
Editorial Reviews
Review
  "This is not a book to be read from front to back but rather a book to dip into at random for refreshment of the spirit, for a laugh, for reflection, or in some cases for a challenge to ideas held dear. Each time I have opened it there has been a surprise and something to engage my interest."  
Book Description
