Update
Kevin Graham's two-volume set is now at the printers. Volume one
contains 262 pages with 568 color photos, 282 company marks.
Included
are 108 companies with information about designers, decors and
dates.
Volume two is 174 pages with form/size numbers for over 200
companies.
Also included are 300 photographs of marks and information about
designers, dates of manufacture and additional details to help identify
items. (A short run will be done in hard cover followed by a soft
cover version.)
Kevin Graham's
first book on West German pottery should be available sometime this
summer, but we have a few advance pages posted with the author's
permission. (These pages were laminated, so there is some glare in the
pictures. Sorry.)
Mark Hill's Fat
Lava was the first book in English on this subject, but Graham's
book will include more pictures and information and will be the first
book in English or German to cover the subject over this long a period.
Works in German have so far focused either on the mid 1950's into the
early 60's or the mid 60's into the 70's.
Kevin already
has enough information for several more books. In addition to further
general volumes, he hopes to do books on some of the specific companies
and at least one on the studio pottery.
If you would
like to be contacted when the book is ready for orders, send us an
e-mail with your name to ginfor@earthlink.net

When asking questions:
1. It really, really helps if you
send pictures of the item and the bottom (e-mail or snail mail is fine).
2. When sending pictures by
e-mail, please try to keep the file size down. A resolution of 72 ppi
is fine for viewing on a monitor.
3. If you get a message saying
something about the e-mail or picture being rejected (happened
recently), it's not us doing it. Too large a file or wrong file type is
the most likely problem.
