This review is from: Mimbres Pottery: Ancient Art of the American Southwest (Hardcover)
Bought this book to learn a basic history about the Mimbres culture as well as their famous pottery. I used it mainly as source material for my own ceramic work and I thought it was a nicely put together book. the descriptions of the artwork could have been in more depth.
