Hardback. Condition: New. This richly illustrated book tells the story of the successful collaboration of Jacques and Juliana Royster Busbee in the creation of a remarkable folkcraft enterprise called Jugtown. This improbable venture, founded in a most unlikely setting, has left its indelible mark on a remote Southern community.…Fully illustrated with numerous black-and-white and color photographs of the place, the people who made pottery there, and the pottery produced by them, the book tells how the Busbees convinced a few of rural Moore County's old-time utilitarian potters to make new-fangled wares for them to sell in Juliana's Greenwich Village tea room and shop. Following New Yorkers' wild acceptance of their primitive-looking and alluring pottery offerings, the Busbees built their own workshop in rural Moore County and called it Jugtown. Today, nearly one hundred potters make and sell their wares within a few miles of Jugtown-all because a hundred years ago, the Busbees and their Jugtown potters found a new way to make old jugs.Stephen C. Compton is an independent scholar and an avid collector of historic, traditional North Carolina pottery. Steve has written numerous articles and books about the state's pottery. Widely recognized for his North Carolina pottery expertise, the author is frequently called upon as a lecturer and exhibit consultant and curator. He has served as president of the North Carolina Pottery Center, a museum and educational center located in Seagrove, North Carolina, and is a founding organizer, and former president, of the North Carolina Pottery Collectors' Guild.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Mystery Is Enough: Reflections on Awakeningby Lander Compton IIIWhat happens when clarity replaces comfort, when belief fades, and truth no longer arrives with certainty?In The Mystery Is Enough, Lander Compton III offers a trilogy of poetic reflections tracing the movement from faith to… seeing, and from seeing to peace.Through three thresholds, The Dream That Kept Me, The Cost of Seeing, and The Return of Peace, the author explores awakening not as victory but as transformation: the loss of comforting myths, the ache of lucidity, and the quiet renewal that follows.Drawing from philosophy, psychology, and lived experience, he writes with both clarity and compassion. His voice resonates with the thought of Alan Watts, Nietzsche, Camus, Sartre, Mary Oliver, and Zen Buddhism, blending reason with reverence and modern insight with ancient calm."Awakening is a one-way door. Once seen, the illusion cannot be made whole again."For readers drawn to spiritual reflection, existential philosophy, or the art of honest seeing, The Mystery Is Enough is a contemplative companion, a book to read slowly, return to often, and carry into the still moments of your own awakening. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
