I was about to say that this is the best book that gathers all of the printmaking media under one cover, but that’s not it. This is the best book on printmaking, period. Printmaking: History and Process includes sections of relief (e.g. woodcuts), intaglio (etching and engraving), silkscreen and lithography; and the treatment of each of these media is better than in any books I’ve seen on just one of them.
I learned many of the basic procedures of printmaking from this book. Now, years later, I am a full-time printmaker and I still use it.
