An unabashedly idiosyncratic introduction to wood engraving technique. This is not a very substantial book, scarcely more than a generously illustrated pamphlet (but beautifully assembled). Those with any experience in relief printmaking will find scant new information, but for fans of Moser, this could be a scintillating view into his process (including the shocking revelation that he has long since given up hardwood blocks for a synthetic alternative).
This is essential.
Moser's skill and experience really shine through in this book. It is effective, and quite enjoyable to read. There are good practical instructions mixed with those intangibles of producing creative work that anyone who has tried will have struggled with.Moser does a good job of providing useful advice (geared towards the beginner) while showing examples, and leaving room for each person to find their own preferences. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and wish I could find a reasonably priced copy
