A must for collectors of Native American pottery!,
This review is from: Acoma & Laguna Pottery (Paperback)
Elliott and co authors have captured the essence of Acoma and Laguna in their pictures and text of this highly collectible Native American pottery. As a small collector of this pottery, I have learned so much more from this wonderful book! If you are on a "hunt" for Acoma and Laguna collectibles, I recommend you take this book along with you.

A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION,
This review is from: Acoma & Laguna Pottery (Paperback)
I received this book today and was unable to put it down. Very informative, well researched, and of course the pictures were beautifully displayed. It answered questions I had that only an expert could reveil or an Acoma potter could provide. Don't pass this one up!
4.0 out of 5 stars
