AndyL Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Too Many Active Potter or Potters with estates have had their books go un-reprinted too long. IMO Lynn Peters among others. IMO they should either actively ask their publisher to reissue/or print on request individually, to consider at least allowing their books to go to video downloads on their publishers print; or go to CAD if their publisher will at least allow a short term license for CAD to sell Publish on request vids or publish on request books What other OUT OF PRINT Books would you like re-published or go to vid too?

Marcia Selsor Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Amazon had 'glazes for special effects" by Herbert Sanders for $9.90. Great book. It includes good info on macro crystalline glazes among many other techniques. I used my copy to help with my thesis in 1972 on Macro-crystalline glazes. Great out of print for decades..

bciskepottery Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Reissue but update . . . too many raw materials referenced in the "classics" are no longer available; others list glazes with lead and other materials no longer considered safe.

oldlady Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 the sanders book is in every library i have ever been in. unless they sold it because it was not checked out enough. i would like to find the one by a british potter who advocated using cooking oil from restaurants as a fuel. had a teapot on the cover, the jacket was mostly soft green but i cannot remember his name or the title. something like the resourceful potter.

glazenerd Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Marcia: I bought Mr. Sanders book about five years ago or so ??? something like that. My wife is a part owner in a small publishing company: so the answer is not that simple. It costs a fair amount of money (in some cases) to release second, third, or fourth editions. In the case of the original authors who have passed: unless rights were assigned at the time of the first release: then their estates would have to authorize any later editions. "Electronic" media or publications are protected under the same terms as printed editions: so authorization to release electronic versions still require authorization. If the author assigned rights to the original publisher for any and all future publications: then someone could purchase those rights from the original publisher who owns them. Given the age of some of these books: I would suspect that the original publishers own the rights: not the author. Nerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Parks book was reprinted by Axner. He originally published it in 1980. he used recycled oil from fast food places in Elko,Nevada.A Potter's Guide to Raw Glazing and Oil Firing Hardcover – 1980by Dennis Parks (Author) Axner was reprinting several classics for a while. where I live in South Texas, not all libraries have ceramics related books. marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia Selsor Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 met a ceramics teacher from Bowling Green, Ky who was a great experimenter of kilns and burners. met him in 1971 or so when he came through the grad studios on a Sunday. we sat and talked oil for a long time. I visited him with other grad students a few years later. his yard was amazing. Somewhere in my mass of slides I have photos of his kilns. he fired with waste oil and filtered it through charcoal briquettes in a 5 pound coffee can. it looked like a primitive IV. marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Dennis makes runs down to Elko , Nv. To fast food places to get his vegetable oil for free.

Fred Sweet Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Marcia- I know you've been in clay a long time, but I think you really meant 1971 and not 1071. Would make you having like 840 years of experience! Aren't keyboards arranged conveniently? Toothlessly trying to smile since we're of an age....
