- One-third through the book & I am impressed. - Well illustrated techniques, generous graphic examples by accomplished woodcut & wood engraving artists, explanatory background, historical overview...and it is all clear, concise, well-written & organized by a master of the trade. -Personal insights (and preferences) & commentary drawn from other artists about the art. -A great variety of woodcut & wood engraving illustrations - mention of artists & philosophies - alternate materials & tools, workaround, shortcuts, how to start, etc., etc. -This is a DIY self-teaching & my 2nd book on the subject ["Wood Engraving: How to do it" by Simon Brett is the other book}. I can't imagine two better craftsman, as engravers or as writers, to lead the way.

A general review and how-to book for the artist interested in printing using woodcuts as the printing block. A good book for the artist just starting out in this traditional block printing method.
