I'd like to give an unsolicited plug here for Fara Shimbo's CD book "Crystal
Glazes" available at: http://digitalfire.com/books/514.php

I have Diane Creber's book, and Peter Ilsley's book, and they're both good,
too, but my personal favorite is Fa's book. An added plus is that she's very
generous with her advice and will often answer email questions.

To the best of my knowledge, there are five books on crystalline glazes:

Diane Creber, Crystalline Glazes

Peter Ilsley, Macro-crystalline Glazes: The Challenge of Crystals

both at
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/103-0596375-5441451

Don Hollaway, "The Art and Craft of Crystals" (self published, I can
find his email address if you like)

Fara Shimbo, "Crystal Glazes" http://digitalfire.com/books/514.php

New book by John and Leroy Price, title of which I don't remember at the
moment but it's readily available.

If anybody knows of any others I'd love to hear about it.

There are also plenty of websites with lots of info.

You forgot "Glazes for Special Effects "by Sanders. Out of print but
can be found at used book sites, expensive though.
