Spectacular book featured in rooms at Shutters hotel

Just a superb volume on ceramics of the latter 20th century. I first saw this book in Shutters of Santa Monica and stayed awake reading it. Simply had to buy it. My copy was in saran, pristine. I'm delighted to have found it. MTSMD

Good Reference Book

Without having to go to LACMA, I can get a sense of history of ceramics ware from this book. It's totally worth it. Like having a part of the museum at home. Since, I am a studio arts major, this helps greatly in sourcing as references for research projects.
