It's a nice overview. Obviously it doesn't have all the latest, less toxic methods of doing silkscreen and intaglio--although there is some coverage of water-based inks but no coverage of the new intaglio techniques. It is true that there are books I like better for the art history coverage. That being said, I still like "The Complete Printmaker", and think that, what it does, it does well--gives a nice overview of the techniques of relief/woodcut, intaglio, lithographic and silkscreen printmaking. I also really like "The Complete Manual of Relief Printmaking" by Rosemary Simmons and Katie Clemson. It might be out-of-print, but out-of-print books are now sometimes available through Amazon, and I also like dealing with Alibris (http://www.alibris.com) for out-of-print books.

Oopsie, sorry Bobette--I pretty much repeated what you posted in my post. (I responded to the question about the Ross/Romano printmaking book, and added my two cents worth about the Simmons/Clemons book, before I even read your own post. That'll teach me to not pay attention...)
