"Been waiting for the definitive work on WPA-era San José Workshops and Texas tile? Here it is, in spades. Susan Toomey Frost has delivered the goods with a brilliant study, many years in the making, that includes important information for collectors and historians alike."
—Carole Coates, author of Catalina Island Pottery and Tile"This book will most definitely be a unique and most valuable contribution to the history of twentieth-century Texas art. It will be a groundbreaking study of a long-neglected Texas art form."
—Lonn Taylor, historian and curator, Smithsonian Institute's National Museum of American History
"This terrific new book is full of color photos of tiles and drawings for tiles, along with the history of these beautiful Mexican works of art made in Texas. Congratulations, Susan, on a job well done and thank you for all your research and hard work to make this topic known to us."

"Susan Toomey Frost, author, tile and pottery collector, educator, and longtime member of Tile Heritage, has thoroughly covered all the bases with her new book. Within these 256 illustrated pages she succeeds in unraveling the controversies that have surrounded the handcrafted tile production in this Texas community while at the same time celebrating the artists, major and minor players alike, who have produced this distinctively romantic, regional ware."
