Printmaking Revolution New Advancements in Technology Safety and Sustainability Dwight Pogue 0499991617142 Books Reviews

• I bought this book both in hard copy and format so it would be with me everywhere I make any kind of a print. The information is well organized and explanations for methods are clear and well illustrated. Some forms of printmaking you do need a bit of background in printmaking to fully understand (litho). I had absolutely no trouble finding the "green" supplies and substituting in my multi-media studio and feel better having done so. The lithography and etching sections were especially helpful as I have plates and stones that have been calling my name for years.
  All in all if anyone wants to make prints with traditional methods at home and are safety and health conscious, this is THE book to get.
• I got the digital version of this book and found some real gems of information in it. It focuses more on lithography than it does etching. You will have to read the lithography portion to see how it can be applied to etching if you are interested. Even with that inconvenience I was so well pleased with the new technique that it is a small price to pay. I hope they rewrite the etching section in future publications, and maybe throw in some affordable hacks for getting excellent quality transparencies without having to mortgage the house to do it. The book is based on a college course and some of the equipment they use would be prohibitively expensive for an individual artist. Having said that, the photosensitive resist is a step up from laminates or pre-laminated plates, and a step in the right direction in the non-toxic movement.
• Very good
• I bought the edition and returned it. I'll never buy another edition of technical or art books again. They're easy to read, which is great, but not easy to navigate for reference purposes.
  
  Nevertheless, this is an outstanding text even though he is marketing his own products in the process. I intend to purchase some and try them out, as they appear to solve so many issues inherent in more traditional methods. I am buying this in the hardback version; absolutely fantastic!
• Ok book.
• Some helpful information, but basically a long commercial for Pogue's products. Very similar to other books that push Lascaux of the like.
• great product .excellent condition and very cheap as a new book.
• I was looking for an affordable alternative to Keith Howard's out of print non toxic printmaking book to recommend for students. These techniques are a bit out of mode...and too product specific.
