Very good book for beginners

I've used this book to expand my skills and develop new techniques. It gave me a few good tips and new ways to solve color layering problems.
I really enjoyed the featured international artists section.
I wish there were layouts for how people set up their printing stations. I suspect that my process could be improved.

had a couple useful tips (i don't know how i haven't thought to use my bone folder for sketch transfers??) and useful resources in the back, but the projects section was largely repetitive and underwhelming, and unfortunately took up the bulk of the book :(

3.5 ⭐️ I flipped through this one, not read completely. This was interesting, just not really what I was looking for. Some of the projects didn’t seem likely to work, in my opinion. Not as much on lino as I’d hoped. (Library loan.)
