This full-color 108-page softbound book is the accompanying catalogue for the museum exhibit that was on display at the Shenandoah Valley Heritage Center in Dayton, VA from September 7 through December 30, 2004. Published by the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Historical Society.
Divided into two sections, an initial essay, A Culture of Clay, pulls together documentary and other evidence to provide a narrative of the county's rich pottery history.

Detailed notes describe the connections and relationships between the potters and their wares, essentially making this section a separate essay on the specific examples that were photographed for the pottery exhibit.
Can be autographed by Jeff Evans upon request.

"ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING WORK! I HOPE IT WINS AN AWARD." Dale L. Couch, Curator of Decorative Arts, Georgia Museum of Art
"Jeff Evans can be very, very proud of this work. It is rock solid, beautifully designed and well written. Moreover, it could not have been done by another living person. Evans' keen fascination with the subject matter and his many years of collecting and research have given us a basis for a lasting understanding of Shenandoah Valley seating. I am still integrating the information. Absolutely outstanding work! I hope it wins an award."

Mt. Washington & Pairpoint Glass, Volume One
By Kenneth M. Wilson
A comprehensive history of the firm presented in a 349-page hardbound book with hundreds of photos and illustrations.
"The factory that would later become Mt. Washington opened for business in South Boston about 1837, and its operations were transferred to an almost new factory in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1870. Ten years later, the company's directors established the Pairpoint Manufacturing Company, a silver-plating firm, next-door to the glassworks. The two businesses merged in 1894 and were reorganized as the Pairpoint Corporation in 1900."
This volume showcases the fine quality glass produced by the company, including pressed and blown wares, lamp chimneys, lanterns, lamps and chandeliers, Iridescent and Sicilian art glass, Rose Amber, Burmese, Peach Blow and Pearl Satin Ware, Cameo and Coraline glass, novelties, salts and toothpicks.
