Oh I should have cropped off those pots!

For Studio Pottery A whole run of the 'Potters' books published since the early 70's by the CPA.every 3 or 4 years. The last three being published as 'THE CRAMICS BOOK'. Gives photos of work,addresses personal photos,and marks of the majority of CPA members. Who in themselves,are the majority of the best studio potters in the country,

Books are starting to arrive!

I now have:

1. Yates-Owen & Fournier (3rd Edition): British Studio Potters' Marks - seems to me it's useful for confirming what you already know rather than discovering what you don't.

2. Bergesen: Encyclopaedia of British Art Pottery - full of information and I can see it'll be referred to often.

3. Lane: Studio Ceramics - looks a little dated for 1984 but it only cost 99p so worth having on the shelf.

4. Rice: British Studio Ceramics

5. Jones: Studio Pottery in Britain 1900-2005

I'll report back once I've read the last two.

Once again, thanks for all your suggestions.

The only one I would not have recommended would have been the Jones one. It waffles a bit,and does not provide enough information. I've got it,and use it very infrequently.
