"This stimulating book...is a major contribution to our knowledge of Neopalatial pottery, and anyone who wants to investigate this crucial period, which sees the passage from the final Minoan palatial stage to a new era oriented toward the mainland, should consult this book as a source of primary evidence as well as of much other useful information." - Luca Girella, Uninettuno University of Rome, Bryn Mawr Classical Review (2013.05.08)
