The book is in very good condition in a very good plus unclipped dustjacket, with black cloth boards and gilt spine titles.

Synopsis - From the dustjacket: "Here is the story of the Zen art of raku, rendered in the most personal terms by an artist solely practicing within this field of ceramics. The intention of the author is to go beyond historical facts and technical processes in order to deepen understanding of the art..." The book is divided into three parts: The Tao of Raku; The Techniques of Raku; Appreciation. Illustrated throughout with black and white photographs.

Condition Details - The book has a tight binding and no marks, tears, turned down page corners or writing. The cover has light edgewear, no soil or stains. The textblock edges are white and clean. The glossy dustjacket (in new, protective Brodart) has very light edgewear, no soil, chips, or tears. No unpleasant odors.

I never use stock photos. The item pictured is the item you'll receive, and it will be packed with care regardless of the shipping method.
