When this book first appeared in 1996, it was "Pottery 101," a basic introduction to the subject. It served as an art book, a history book, and a reference book, but also fun to read, beautiful to look at, and filled with good humor and good sense.

It shows every pottery-producing group in the Southwest, complete with maps that show where each group lives. Now updated, rewritten, and re-photographed, it's a comprehensive study as well as a basic introduction to the art.… (more)

This is my favorite book on Native American Pottery. Often funny, always practical, a great book for the beginning collector as well as a good reference for the experienced trader. Tons of color pictures which always identify potter, pueblo and dates. Good index which includes all of the artists' names. It's organized by pueblo and for the more prolific communities, further breaks things down by period, style or family lines. Covers prehistoric pottery too. My only complaint is that it has no information on prices.
