MAKING

BOOKS

Despite the fact that there are scores
of books about print-making processes
people continue to write more books
about them. The result is that there is
often much duplication of information
despite authors' attempts at making
their particular book somehow better.
In writing 'The Complete Printmaker'
(The Free Press $20.00), authors
Clare Romano and John Ross have
obviously seen a gap somewhere
among the plethora of print-making
books already available. The jacket
says that theirs is an attempt to provide
`in-depth coverage of all the major
print-making areas — from the
traditional to the latest innovative
techniques' ! Although not always 'in- Aberbach Fine Art Jack Beal, Maryan, James McGarrell, Ars Studeo
