" A Book for the Curious Painter"

"I think ' A Book for the Curious Painter 'is absolutely fabulous. It is the most complete and extensive book I have ever seen. It seems as if nothing has been forgotten and this is a really enrichening book for every painter. This book should be a must for every porcelain painter."
Peter Faust, Switzerland
. "China painters have been starving for a book like this. It will be an important part of everybody's library . It explains not only 'how to' but 'why "."
Marci Blattenberger, Tennessee
"This book is one of the most definitive guides I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I am amazed at the wealth of information provided, making this one of the leading publications that engages the field of ceramic art. Even though the book title points to a rather artistic coverage, it also includes subject matter that would be of great interest to hobby ceramicists and studio potters alike. In fact, I don't think that I have read a publication that successfully combines all these aspects into one volume as well as this book does. A Book for the Curious Painter is a 'must have' publication."
Gordon Henry, England
"This book belongs in every porcelain painter's library. It takes a lot of mystery away from what we are using and doing. I've been urging all of my painting students to add this wonderful book of information to their own painting libraries."
Frank R. Albrecht, Minnesota
"A Book for the Curious Painter is like no other book available for the china painter. What a wealth of information it contains and the multiple choices we have to use these materials we all have in our cabinets."

"I've just finished reading A Book for the Curious Painter, cover-to-cover, and I believe it is the best book ever written (so far) on the subject. It is certainly far and away better than anything else I've found in three years of serious research.. By the way, I don't care how long you've been china painting, YOU NEED THIS BOOK! "
Paul Lewing, Washington
"Gene and Ricki, we owe you a debt of gratitude for writing this book; it is such a blessing to our art form. So much information, written so clearly and easy to understand. Every teacher and student needs to have this book in their library. Not only does this book have information about the science of our art, but also explanations on color theory and art principles."
Ellen Wilson-Pruitt, Indiana
"I received Gene & Ricki's book yesterday and it was wonderful. So much to absorb. It is well worth the money and could not have been written better. I can't wait till I have time to read it all. I met Gene and his lovely wife several years ago and he is a delightful person and so sharing with his knowledge. Thank you Gene & Ricki for taking the time to put this very informative book together."
Bertie Stephens, Texas
"Hi Gene, Just received your book in the mail today, A Book for the Curious Painter. I love it and am so happy that I ordered it. You and Ricki did a wonderful job and it so great to have the book itself right in front of me when I have a question. I am also quite impressed at the turn around time. I ordered it after dinner on February 2 and as I mentioned, it arrived today on the 5th! The only way I could have received it any earlier would be to have you live next door!! Great job and I recommend this to one and all."
