Beautiful! Highly recommended for anyone with even a passing interest in the art of woodblock print making. The authors take the reader step by step through the process, augmenting along the way with an abundance of helpful photos and finished prints.

Great book for beginners and professional printmakers. The author has a thorough knowledge of the medium. And I feel it's one book I'll read again. Enjoyed it thoroughly! Especially the art!
