by Mrs. Valerie J. Smith
Great book full of plenty of ideas that are widely varied and couldn’t fail to inspire. It is very clearly and beautifully presented with instructions that are easy to understand. It’s a book I will use and treasure.
by Paul Marc
Well written with clear and easy to follow instructions. Good selection of photos to help get a sense of different techniques.

Beautiful Book! Lovely illustrations and really interesting methods for printing at home. I love printing and bought it for myself to discover alternative ways of printing without heavy machinery or super expensive materials. It really broadened my knowledge. Highly recommend it to any artist who loves crafts and printing.
by Stitch
The intention was to produce an inspirational book, this certainly is! It covers projects that do not require specialist knowledge nor access to a print room. It will however, still appeal as a teaching or project guide for those with experience. It covers problem solving in an encouraging, matter of fact way that stimulates productivity.

Just got the book and i’m super excited! The book is really pretty and to be honest one of the prettiest ones I handled! So many ideas for projects! Can’t wait to start new projects now. Worth the money. Although if you are really experienced in printing then probably you won’t find it really helpful, but for someone who started printing but wants to know more, this book is really good!
by D. Symonds
For me the book didn’t live up to expectations and the techniques were a little bit, “Blue Peter”, for instance printing with a potato.
As another reviewer commented, a number of the materials referred to, are not known in the UK. I think some of projects would be interesting and affordable for the younger student, but not for the more experienced printmaker.
I found a couple of articles useful, hence 3 stars, but generally it was a little disappointing.
