Practical Printmaking by Colin Gale, softback published by A&C Black. ISBN 978-0-7136-8809-2, price 19.99 from www.acblack.com

This is a nicely produced book showing many examples of work. The Colour and black and white prints are good quality. The book amply covers the different methods of printmaking. However, I think for 19.99 GBP, this 160 page book could have been better if it had offered easy to follow, step by step instructions of how to practice at least some of the print methods. I did not feel I could follow the examples and instructions to produce a similar print to those shown and I am not a complete novice when it comes to printmaking. A good overview but you’ll need more than this.
