review of 'the electric kiln' by harry fraser
At the time I purchased this book I was looking into buying my first kiln. I found it extremely helpful and user friendly.

I didnt know much at all about kilns and the processes involved in firing but this book helped clarify every area involved. From small hobby kilns to large industrial kilns, explaining in easy to understand language.

Technical information aswell as health and safety considerations etc.

Very good book and not at all scary!

technically inforamative, needs more on it's use
I found the book to focus to much on the construction and electrical requirements of an electrical kiln as opposed to getting the most out of it in a creative way. It took quite a bit of sifting to get the information I required.
