Packed with information!By Maria Arango DienerI bought this book both in hard copy and Kindle format so it would be with me everywhere I make any kind of a print. The information is well organized and explanations for methods are clear and well illustrated. Some forms of printmaking you do need a bit of background in printmaking to fully understand (litho). I had absolutely no trouble finding the "green" supplies and substituting in my multi-media studio and feel better having done so. The lithography and etching sections were especially helpful as I have plates and stones that have been calling my name for years.All in all if anyone wants to make prints with traditional methods at home and are safety and health conscious. this is THE book to get.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. An etchers perspectiveBy CustomerI got the digital version of this book and found some real gems of information in it. It focuses more on lithography than it does etching. You will have to read the lithography portion to see how it can be applied to etching if you are interested. Even with that inconvenience I was so well pleased with the new technique that it is a small price to pay. I hope they rewrite the etching section in future publications. and maybe throw in some affordable hacks for getting excellent quality transparencies without having to mortgage the house to do it. The book is based on a college course and some of the equipment they use would be prohibitively expensive for an individual artist. Having said that. the photosensitive resist is a step up from laminates or pre-laminated plates. and a step in the right direction in the non-toxic movement.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Very similar to other books that push Lascaux of the like.By CustomerSome helpful information. but basically a long commercial for Pogues products. Very similar to other books that push Lascaux of the like.
