I really enjoyed reading and working through this book on linocut. As a novice printmaker it gave me some great tips and ideas for more ways to explore my linocutting. Also, as a teacher it has provided me with more ways to use the technique in the classroom and great explanations of the materials too. The pictures are very helpful in making things clear and easy to understand and some of the prints included by other printmakers are very inspirational. Overall a great in-depth exploration of linocut. Highly recommended!

This is an indispensable book for anyone interested in linocut printing. Well laid out, with clear step-by-step instructions and examples, it's the best book I've found on the subject. Buy it.

I bought this book directly from the author, after doing one of her linocut workshops, and it's brilliant. The instructions are clear and easy to follow if you are a novice, like me. There is also a lot of sample artwork to give you ideas. I had no idea I'd be able to create such detailed pieces, just from bits of lino!

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning linocut, or about it.

I bought this book as a present for my sister. She cannot rate it enough. As a novice to linocutting it gives you a contextual background to the craft as well as providing you with a more holisitc approach to your art work with linocutting, for example by giving information about how to develop a sketchbook of ideas and create ideas and designs from sources of inspiration. I think this is invaluable alongside the 'how to' practical approach to any craft as the craft is only as good as your imagination. Pictures and projects were all very inspirational.

I have been doing linocuts since my earliest days at school. This is the best book I have come across in many a year, this can't be hard as there are few books on this subject. This is both excellent for the novice or more advanced. I have learnt some new techniques and ideas and I have been cutting for 30 years.

I bought this book for a friend who wants to learn the art of linocut. I am going to have to order this for myself too, it's easy to understand with excellent and inspirational instructions, can't wait to get started!

This is a wonderful, well laid out book with very useful hints and tips. The best book on linocut you would find in any book store.

I happened to come across this book as I was looking for a beginners guide to linocutting. I was not disappointed. A well written book with clear instructions and loads of photos. I saw that the author had a website so I visited the site. They offer workshops so I booked one with some of my friends and was lucky enough to meet Susan Yeates. We had a fun morning/afternoon with her and did some projects. If you are in the UK I would recommend going to one of her classes. Thanks Susan for a great book.

Great book which covers the whole process from inspiration to final prints. As far as I can find, the only book available for would-be or returning linocutters. Recommended

Clear and easy to understand instructions help the beginner create simple results in no time at all. Each chapter has tips on techniques and there is no art speak just clear advice.
My only criticism is there isn't really any decent examples of the authors own work or any information on how to create the more complex and refined work shown in the examples on each page.
It is also odd how many of the 5 star reviewers for this item haven't reviewed anything else.

Overall this is a good guide for a beginner but a little expensive if you have previous experience of printing
