First edition, first printing of the seminal memoir by the father of British studio pottery, in fine condition with a near fine dust jacket. There is a tiny abrasion to the rear upper corner of the jacket and a little wear to the head of the spine. The cobalt boards are straight and the page block tight, but there is a little foxing to the top edges. Illustrated with a few sketches by Leach and with some of his black and white photographs. The attractive grey-blue endpapers are decorated with a dark blue design by Leach: An excellent copy.
