About Fat Lava: West German Ceramics of the 1960s & 70s...
'Fab', I think, is the correct vernacular!
David, Birmingham
This copy of your book is for my sister. I got a copy 11 months ago and now have 110 pieces of "Fat Lava"!

Pip, Pips-Trip, London
Thank you for your fantastic effort with FAT LAVA book. It has helped me identify some of my unknown vases. The quality of the text and the images is superb.
Allan, Australia
The book is a treat - very informative, well designed and superbly photographed.
Holly, Canada
The book has made me feel a certain urgency to snap up all the West German pottery I encounter. To the detriment of my wallet, living space and husband. I'm blaming it all on Fat Lava.
Ellen, New York
What a fabulous book, there are a
few good investments that I have made this year, and I
must say that this is most definitely in the top five.
There is not a week goes by with out me picking it up as
a reference guide.

About
Michael Harris,
Mdina Glass & Isle of Wight Studio
Glass...
For me this is 160 pages of pure
joy...having collected Mdina and Isle of Wight Studio
Glass for a number of years, I had lots of unanswered
questions which are all now put to rest... The 250 full
colour photographs are everything that the glass
deserves....and for the collector there are lots of
factory/shop colour photographs, company advertisements,
and promotional shots. For the first time, this book
outlines the Harris' original Mdina designs and shapes
and separates them from later Mdina interpretations. The
section on marks, signatures and labels also provides
invaluable information for dating. More power to the Hill
elbow!
Excerpts from a book review written by Dr Graham Cooley
that appeared in the Glass Cone, the quarterly
publication of the UK's national Glass Association.
Congratulations on a fantastic
book. You have truly created the bible on Michael
Harris plus a lot more.
Joe, Glasgow
I have had a chance to read
the IOW book and just wanted to congratulate you on a
very interesting and informative
book.
Robin, Isle of Man
Just a
note to say how impressed we are with your IOW book. It
is so comprehensive, and just what serious collectors
have needed for a long time. Many
thanks.
Jean & David, England
The book
arrived today and it far exceeded my expectations. The
plates are gorgeous, and the text is wonderful! Thank you
so much for including the price list too. Altogether, a
stellar transaction, for which I thank you sincerely!

About
Hi
Sklo Lo Sklo: Postwar Czech Glass Design From Masterpiece
to Mass-Produced....
Great exhibition and great book,
but I knew that was going to be the
case.
Jeanette Hayhurst, Jeanette Hayhurst Fine Glass, London,
England
This is a
great introduction to this vast subject with readily
accessible information in a well laid out format that
points the reader in the right direction...a very welcome
addition to collectors' and dealers' libraries which
dovetails well with other recently published books,
especially since it indicates accessible collecting areas
within Czech glass.
Nigel Benson, 20th century glass dealer, London, England
I must say
that of all the glass books I have (and there are loads
now), yours are the ones I use and study the most. What's
the next one on?
Natalia, Cambridgeshire, England
I received the book
today, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Not only
is the quality superb, but I have already identified one
piece in my collection, and helped two other people ID
pieces in their collections. I can tell I will be
referring to this book over and over again. Keep them
coming – excellent work!
