 The Arcanum I can recommend a good book to folks who enjoy some history, furnaces and a good tale. The Arcanum is a non-fiction account of the "re-invention" of the perfect forumula for porcelain (bone china) in Europe in the 18th century. It's a true story, written by Janet Gleeson. Along the lines of Brunellischi's Dome, it's the tale of how a European alchemist learned how to make china for a royal court. Given how much the royals were spending on imported porcelain from China, jailing a chemist in a laborary until he came up with the right formula was probably a cost-effective decision. It's an enjoyable book, particularly if you are building an oven. James
