Good Basic Guide

This is a good basic guide to Redware, written by an archaeologist (and how many collectible pottery books can boast of an author with that background?) as well as a collector. Those interested in beginning or adding to their collection of Redware will find the sections on rarity, pricing and condition of items to be of special interest. Full-color photos of various items (with values) make this one a treasure trove!
