My Review

"I had the opportunity yesterday to read Mel's new book
from cover to cover... I found it to be educational and
entertaining all in one great read!  Having such a wealth
of information coming from so many different voices was
a delight.

I wanted immediately to call friends and say "get this book"!
I think every classroom should use it as a great workbook, and
for those of us who have been making pots, its a terrific refresher.
Thanks, Mel and friends!  Great Job!"
