Good starting point
Quite basic and not very unique information. I have never studied printmaking but I have learned a lot just by watching other artists on the internet. This book didn’t really expand upon that and so the problem is really just my expectations of what this guide was going to teach me- totally my fault! I just wanted an intro guide that went into a little bit more depth. But I’m happy to support this author and still glad to have purchased this book.

My first link cut tutorial
I am a visual artist enjoying many paint mediums and mixed media. I often paint with small pieces of handmade paper cut into small pieces to create a new painting. linocut is completly new to me and I am excited to add this to my present work. This book was AMAZING and written concisely. I am no longer afraid to "dig in" and create new art. TY Susan! Great job.

Great for beginners
Ótimo livro, com muitos exemplos práticos e técnicas. Explicações claras é uma lista de material para cada projeto, o que facilita bastante a execução deles.

Solo para principantes, demasiado simple
Lo he devuelto porque es muy elemental, demasiado simple. Puede valer para un principiante absoluto pero si se quiere avanzar en la técnica del linograbado este libro no permite llegar muy lejos.

Excellent beginner book
I bought 2 Lino print books for myself, this one is by far the best for beginners. It gives clear instruction and 10 projects to begin with, which is great for someone like me who has little imagination or skill at drawing. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a list of exact Lino tools eg Pfeil L11/0.5 etc for when one wants to upgrade from essdee/speedball starter kits.
