      • Very good intro to printmaking

        It's difficult to find a good book describing the various types of printmaking and I think this book does a very good job of it. There are places in the book where I wish the description of the process was a little clearer, but, basically, the book is an intro to the art of printmaking, with the expectation that the reader is someone who wants to pursue one or more of printing techniques further.

      • Excellent Deal and the price was Right!

        I do block carvings and this is an excellent source of the many different ways to carve, design, and gives insight and history into block carving.
