I have recently come across a book called Ceramic Colours and Pottery
Decoration by Kenneth Shaw. This looks like a wonderful resource tool for
the potter. I have searched new and used books - Amazon.com and elsewhere
but nothing turns up. Perhaps this book is out of print and no longer
available? Does anyone know a book equivalent to this that might cover
wonderful subjects like Grinding and calcination of stains etc.
