The Best of 500 Ceramics: Celebrating a Decade in Clay (500 Series) Reviews

Picked this up on a whim, and it's pretty amazing. Endless creativity and whimsy. Very cool browsing, if you have any interest in contemporary pottery.
This is apparently a "Best-of" compilation from the publisher's series of pottery-photo books, which you will find advertised nearby -- and which I'll be keeping an eye out for.
Let's see if I can find you some samples.....
Well, doh, Amazon's own preview sample is a whole lot better. Lots of photos, maybe half or more of the book? Definitely try before you buy.... Very good stuff, to my eye, but tastes differ.
Happy reading -- and viewing!

Very pretentious intro. Also, the artwork, while amazing, is very modern, which is not really my thing.
