Just about all you could want5
I would never pretend to be anything like an expert on porcelain or pottery. I have a passing interest and it was while I was browsing through an antiques fair that I thought it might help if I had a better idea at just what I was looking at. I did a search on Amazon and decided on this book. I made the right choice.

'Miller's Pottery and Porcelain Marks' is an excellent guide. It shows makers marks very clearly and also has useful text. It is also a very handy size and carrying it around wouldn't be a problem at all. I can't say that it will make me an expert but it will most probably be a big help in judging what is old,recent or modern. Highly recommended.
