i didn't find this quite as helpful as Printmaking for Beginners as it was a lot more woodcut-focused than i was hoping for, (and got a little too much into the spirit of the craft rather than practical advice for my taste) but it was still a helpful and comprehensive guide that was worth the read!

I enjoyed seeing how relief printmaking was being displayed in modern art museums.
