If you're a ceramics lover off to the British Isles, you might want to grab a copy of this A-Z directory of members and fellows of the Craft Potters Association, the national body representing studio potters in the UK. The association's directory has lately surfaced as The Ceramics Book, edited by the potter Emmanuel Cooper, editor of the bimonthly magazine Ceramic Review. In this updated second edition, The Ceramics Book brings together photographs of and information about approximately 260 selected members, such as Philomena Prestell , and their work as well as an artist statement, potter's mark and contact details. With its sturdy binding and small-scale format, the 320-page book should easily fit in a capacious pocket or backpack of any tourist.
