Camark Pottery Vol 11,

This review is from: Collector's Guide to Camark Pottery, Book 2: Identification & Values (Paperback)
I was very disappointed in the book. The author goes on and on about the History of Camark, but very little information about the various glazes used. Sorry I bought it.

This review is from: Collector's Guide to Camark Pottery, Book 2: Identification & Values (Paperback)
Mr. Gifford writes an interesting & comprehensive history of Camark (I live in Arkansas, where Camark was produced). The book features many colorful pages with fair pricing of the items. I learned quite a bit from this book. I'm a new collector & found this book to be quite helpful to me. I have already recognized a piece of Camark I bought for $10 to be worth about $60! That's worth the price of the book!
