I was intrigued by this book the instant i saw the title. I make pots and I am always on the hunt for books that survey craft artists. I like the content and the artists that are shown in this book, but some of the quality of images is downright appalling. It makes me feel like no one was checking up on this and they hired some 12 year old with a disposable camera to take images for some of the artists. I am glad to get the names of some of the artists, but i really feel its a shame for all parties to not aspire to a higher quality of representation of the work shown here. Definitely not a best foot forward, especially considering this is a book about craft/craftsmanship.
