About This Item
London: Barrie & Jenkins, 1974. Hardbound. VG- (DJ has edgewear and a few tears at head of outer spine; page margins are tanning lightly; SIGNED BY AUTHOR on Geoffrey Godden bookplate.). Rust colored cloth with gilt letters on spine; navy blue and color-illustrated dust jacket. xvii, pp. 1-30, a section with 8 color and 149 bw plates, then pp. 31-96. "The first book to take into account the revolutionary discoveries made by the author when directing excavations at the factory site. A true account of the 'Dr Wall' and 'Flight' period is therefore presented. Many new shapes are shown in mould or 'master' form, and Mr Sandon has much to say about manufacturing processes. This text is supported by a magnificent range of illustrations, many featuring 'wasters' excavated on the factory site, with matching complete specimens. This new edition includes a drawing of painters' marks found on Warmstry House site wasters." (dj) This copy is SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR on a Geoffrey Godden bookplate.
