Summary: Close but not Harry Potter
Review: This is a 1998 revision of a 1973 classic work on ceramic glazes. Although written by Harry, for potters, this (contrary to the adjacent review) has nothing to do with the Harry Potter of Hogwarts fame. Instead it contains a wealth of technical information about ceramic glazes. Information is presented clearly and concisely. If you really want to know glazes, you have to learn some chemistry, and Fraser presents the chemical information well. Many of his glaze recipes contain lead, however, and most contemporary craft potters shun lead glazes. If I could own just one book on glazes I would instead pick "Clay and Glazes for the Potter" by Rhodes -- but why would anyone own just one book on glazes, anyway?
