Customer Reviews:

Great stuff - first hand research!

I own all the books on SVC, and am a great admirer of her work. I've read too many gushing accounts of her life in magazine articles etc, so it is a breath of fresh air to see a well researched text such as this one. Although it doesn't have the large format photographs of Youd's book, it does have wonderful, original research.

I have known Andrew for years during my research into interwar ceramics at the University of Wales, and I know him to be a professional and dedicated author. I only wish that I had the chance to meet and interview Cooper for my 1998 book Art Deco Ceramics. Casey, on the other hand, travelled to the Isle of Man to carry out in-person interviews with the great lady before she died.

Interested in 1930s Homes? Check out my best-selling introductory guide 'The 1930s Home' - some Susie Cooper in there too!

The Susie Cooper Collectors Bible

Although there are now several books available on the work of Susie Cooper, Andrew Casey's book remains the workhorse for serious collectors of her work. Lavisly illustrated in full colour and covering all periods of her work, the history of her career is usefully interspursed with collectors notes. The layout of the entire book and the highlighted pattern names make it easy to pick up and read from any point. Backed up with a comprehensive listing of the patterns Susie Cooper designed, factory marks used and useful appendix section this is still the one book any serious collector of Susie's work should own.
