AN EXCITING AND COLORFUL BOOK WITH SUPERB EXPLAINATIONS AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE MANY TYPES OF PRINTMAKING TECHNIQUES. I FOUND IT MOST ENLIGHTINING AS A NOVICE TO THIS AREA OF ART. IT NOT ONLY TEACHES THE MANY FORMS OF PRINTMAKING, BUT IT IS AN EXCELLENT GUIDE TO THE ACCEPTANCE OF WORKS UNDER THE TITLE OF "PRINTS" WHEN FACED WITH A JURORED EXHIBITION. ONLY POSSIBLE WEAKNESS I FOUND WAS A LACK OF A GLOSSARY OF TERMS SUCH AS"CHINE COLLE",BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN ENTERING THE FIELD OF PRINTMAKING.

A very comprehensive book covering numerous techniques and a broad spectrum of styles and artist. Really ideal for someone who is beginning in printmaking.

I LOVE this book! I'm a long time printmaker (over 20 years) and I have all the classics, I even have this in a hardbound. I like this softbound as I can turn the pages back, its lighter to carry around and I can have a less expensive copy in the classroom and to recommend to students. The full color pictures make this a fun book to simply look at. The abundance of step by step pictures make this a perfect book for a printmaking beginner and well deserves a place next to Ross & Romano The Complete Printmaker) in any printmaking library!
