YOUR COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE POTTERY OF CATALINA ISLAND, is an indispensable reference for any collector of the pottery manufactured on Catalina Island. The book begins by identifying every Catalina Island Clay Products piece that would have been for sale at the Catalina pottery shops, not only by its designated Catalina Clay Products catalogue number and original description, to the extent possible, but also by adding a picture to assist in identification. In addition, the book identifies the glaze colors and types of clay items have been found in thus far. It even cross-references each separate item to illustrations in seven other popular Catalina pottery books by other authors.

It also provides chronological information from the original price lists as to when an item was produced and, sometimes, when it was discontinued.
