"If These Pots Could Talk" author Ivor Noel-Hume
Buying any reference book can be a gamble. Will the book suit my needs as a collector? Will it enhance my knowledge on the subject matter? And for me, will it help to identify objects in my own collection? For myself, this book touched all of the bases, and then some! "If These Pots Could Talk" is a WINNER!
As a relic hunter for the past 39 years, I have personally collected thousands of pottery, and ceramic shards from all over the Charleston S.C. area. I have also pieced together and found some whole pots on my own. And this book has helped me date and identify hundreds of items in my collection. Knowing what you have found and from whence it came is what this book does best. It puts all the puzzle pieces into place and provides the answers that all collectors ask. Such answers as how old, where was it made are what makes this book stand out and shine above all others. Mr. Hume's vast knowledge and expertise in the ceramic field has no competition here. His wisdom shines as do his words, on a part of collecting that a laymen such as myself can now understand. And all because of this beautiful book.
And this book is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The photography and content are unparalleled by any other book. It has no peer, and certainly no other author could make this books content more interesting and enlightening than Mr.Ivor Noel-Hume. He has no equal.
Buy this book and enjoy. It's place in your library will be filled with a marvelous work of art. Mr. Hume has once again produced a literary masterpiece!
