3.0 out of 5 stars a starter kit - find it on sale, December 9, 2009

A reasonable starter kit. The cutter handle is plastic but does not unscrew to store the cutters. A minimal amount of ink - enough to do a few prints. The lino is mounted on a wood block - nice. You would have to add some good paper to make this a usable gift. I found it on sale and the lower price ($30) was necessary to make me feel the contents were worth the money.

This was the first time I have ever tried block printing. This was a great kit to get me started. The blades cut well and stored easily in the handle. I have to work on my technique a little bit, but I think this was a good value for all the stuff that you get.
