2 comments about Mimbres Pottery: Ancient Art of the American Southwest.
- This is classic Mibres at its best. If you don't have this one in your library - WHY NOT?!
- This book is hard to find in libraries but is an excellent resource. Excellent photographs of bowls and clear description of styles and meaning makes the book invaluable. We use it in our class.

3 comments about Coyote Satan Amerika: The Unspeakable Art and Performances of Reverend Steven Johnson Leyba.
- I didn't know what to to expect. What I got was something at once exhilirating (the written part) and disturbingly beautiful (the paintings and photos). You can't look at these pictures and not cringe at some while at the same time appreciating the painstaking (pardon the expression), and obviously loving work that went into them. The manifesto is a good read for anyone interested in Lavey's Satanism as well as revealing the artists' stance against and rejection of the consumer culture. An Apache, Satanist, and a radical artist rolled into one, the Reverand is certainly not for the squeamish.
- This is a man who started creating his books with (...) raw, unapologetic rage, and a whole (...) load of creative genius. I personally have met with the author of this book, Rev. Steven Johnson Leyba and have attended his exhibitions. In no way can one easily sum up the power behind this man's words and ideas. Unspeakable? Maybe. Bold and intense? Definitely. Satanic? You bet (...).
This is a definite must read for any cynical, misanthropic, and/or Satanic individual. As a foot note: I believed in, and was moved so much by, this man's writings that I collaborated with Rev. Steven Johnson Leyba to produce background music for his passage "I Don't Believe", contained on page 37 of this book (...)
- This is a wonderfully wicked book. Incredibly offensive, the way I like it. Reverend Leyba is a premiere Satanic Artist. Why haven't you bought it?

1 comments about Spode Transfer Printed Ware 1784-1833.
- The scope of the book is narrow, but that's already known by the title.
Despite this, there are some excellent generalised chapters on the mechanics of early transfer printing processes, with photographs.
One of the authors did the bat-printing process himself, all photographed, in order to revive that lost art for this book.
Hundreds of patterns, part patterns, borders and shapes are illustrated, to help identify those Spode pieces that were made before the Copelands appeared.
Students of early transferware in general, and of 'pre-Copeland' Spode in particular, will find this a satisfying, even fascinating book, written by two men who really know their stuff.
