Thank you for showing interest in my ebook- The History of the Burmantofts Pottery.
I have researched the information contained within this ebook over the last six years and I expect readers will be pleased with the results.
My Burmantofts web page contains a minute snapshot of information from the ebook itself, but as you can imagine, is only the beginning of the full story. I have endevoured to release some form of publication to coincide with the centenary of the end of the pottery production and this ebook is the result. With a total of 230 pictures and 157 pages, this ebook is a must for any enthusiast.

SO WHY SHOULD I BUY AN EBOOK?
|
|
The benefit of buying this ebook is that to begin with you get far more information, pictures and extras than if I had the book set in print. The cost of having books printed reduces the amount of information and pictorial content due to the cost of labour and resources. This has enabled me to include photos and research information I think you will want to see and read. The ebook contains supplement research that you will not get from other books as a bonus.

BUT I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER...

Don't panic!! Most people shy away from computers or just don't have one for what ever reason. The good news is that you can use this ebook on a machine of a friend or family member without causing disruption. The ebook only needs a PDF reader installing if it does not have one already and these days, most software or internet files are in this format. You can also use library or college machines intended for public use to view your ebook. The disc comes with full instructions on how to view the files, so give it a go!

I check my emails on a daily basis and will respond to any emails as soon as possible within that week. If you send me an email, can you check that you have not got an email blocker set up on your system or that you check your bulk or spam folders for my reply.
