A little gem
I bought this looking for some introductory techniques to screenprinting, as I am keen to produce some limited prints cheaply in bold graphic colour, and this process was my next logical move. The book is titled 'simple screenprinting; basic techniques and creative projects' and one cannot fault that it is indeed 100% that. This is exactly what I need to guide me gently into 'dipping my toe' into the process and this book does this with no fuss in a well illustrated no-nonsense way. It has plenty of inspirational projects that get the creative mind going, and covers a lot of ground as intros go. I'm giving it 5 stars because it hasn't pretended to be much more than an informative opener to screenprinting, and for a few pounds it has done this. I didn't like everything in it but that's just being picky and it's personal taste so 5 stars it is.

Not the best book for screenprinting
This book is sufficient, but I was slightly disappointed. The instructions were long and fiddly and some of the creative projects were a bit dated and not desirable enough to make you want to create them. If you want a good book on basic printing try Anne Desmet's Handmade Prints for printing without a press.
