4.0 out of 5 stars
Book a bit dated but still relevant, December 29, 2004
This review is from: Print Collecting (Paperback)
Although the artwork examples are dated, this book is a terrific resource for print collectors and those interested in preserving paper in general. Written in a very clear and logical approach, the chapters detail the history, lore, collecting, and conservation of prints in an easy to read fashion. What I enjoyed most is the "examples" section, made up of moderately priced (no Picasso lithos or Rembrandt etchings) contemporary prints, mostly from UK artists. This book is serious about printmaking and conservation.
There should really be a second edition of this book for the new millennium since there are new conservation methods and techniques for printmaking.

Review of Print Collecting, March 18, 2007
This review is from: Print Collecting (Paperback)
This small book contains a great deal of data for the print collector. Very informative comprehensive view of print-making, from identification to cleaning and repair. Includes easy-to-understand printmaking terms and definations throughout the book. Excellent organization, with complete table of contents and index. Obviously written by a passionate collector and instructor.
