Customer Reviews

Excellent, explains everything you want to know
I have been studying basic printmaking techniques, for about a year , and have found this book to be an excellent guide. It has excellent explanations. Also advice on safety precautions & how to set up the studio. Also very helpful is a quite extensive list of suppliers of printmaking equipment and papers in the U.S.A. It is the most complete book of the many art books that I have read ever. It covers just about everything. Ideal for the artist with experience in printmaking but sufficiently easy to understand for the novice.

A Comprehensive, Detailed , Well Illustrated Book
This book is a well contrived, well organized, detailed description of methods and materials in-volved in the creation of all of the modern methods and media implemented by printmakers. The book has excellent illustrations, and source lists and covers each type of printmaking in detail. It also answers the questions with which the printmaker is concerned. It is an excellent reference book, and can be read over and over with renewed interest.
