I am thrilled with this new book I recently purchased, I have had Emmanual Cooper's other books on glazing and recipes - and found them most informative and the glazes pretty true to explanation
I also have found that they are quite stable - we fire in the higher 1260.C upwards catagory and the sometimes glaze recipes unless worked out correctly can be very unstable and uninteresting.
All in all a very worthwhile book and easy to use, a definate "MUST HAVE" for your collection

This Book is a great book for any beginner Potter. It has over 400 recipes for glazes and it also explains how to adjust the glaze ifyou have a problem. I love my Book and I know I will use it for a very long time.

I read the reviews on Amazon and thought I'd found the perfect glaze book! However, it doesn't do well for beginning glaze makers. It's cumbersome in that it lists temperature ranges rather than cone numbers. Some of the glazes are pictured on the same page as the recipe but not all, so it's difficult to guess what the colors will look like. Overall, I didn't like the format. I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it. I may even return the book.

If tried about 6 of these glazes. None are really very impressive, some are boring or have problems, which are not detailed in remarks. Also, tiny little photos don't give an idea of how it will look, and there are not even photos (thumbnails?) of all the glazes in the book. They aren't on the same page as the recipe, so you have to hunt for them. Some of the photos in the book have no recipe listed!! Kinda crappy book.

Easy to use and keeps open while I work on recipes.Great size . Great pictures on nice paper.

this book is awesome if you know how to formulate your own glazes, or if you know how to mix your own glazes. anyone who has taken ceramics in college for more than just the intro class should be able to handle this book. you don't have to search all over the internet now to find a certain color glaze that goes to cone 04. there is a really good selection of glazes for low, mid, and high fire glazes.

execellent glaze reference book for serious pottery. well organized and printed on sturdy pages. this book was recommended to me by a ceramics professor/professional potter

Simply the best by a world reknowned Master Potter. Its a quality "must have" for any serious or novice potter's library. VERY HIGHLY recommended.
