>>I have just received my copy of the new journal "Ceramics in America" and
>>felt compelled to publicly congratulate the editor, authors and press on a
>>job well done!! It is quite clear to me after reading several of the
>>articles that this journal will be a must for all historical
>>archaeologists. You really have to see the journal to appreciate the
>>quality of the work and production. The photographic reproduction is
>>absolutely the best I have seen in a long time. For example, in Miller and
>>Hunter's article on the transition from Creamware to Pearlware (sorry,
>>China Glaze!), the color control of the photos allows one to pick out the
>>wide variation in colors of the pearlwares.
>>
>>It is clear that "Ceramics in America" has established a new standard for
>>reporting on Ceramics for archaeologists, ceramic historians, and
>>collectors. Kudos to Rob Hunter and his staff!!

>>P.S. I need to disclose that Rob is a longtime friend and colleague!!
>>However, I believe that my comments accurately reflect the quality of this
>>new volume.
