| My book on lino cuts, wood cuts (bass, poplar, birch, and pine), and wood engravings (box, Plexiglass, Resingrave) for block prints, discusses how to do certain things and how to fix many screwups, plus many unique hints. Many examples are shown in this third edition of the book, which is extremely well illustrated. |
