"impressive art,impressive delivery" according to David C. Laws. I was impressed by the wide range of work in this bookjust had top have one for myselfthanks for the great product and great delivery.. Not a serious survey of international printmaking A Customer I have long looked outside the US for great contemporary printmaking, so when I found this book I was really excited. What a disappointment! The book is dominated by North Americans while nearly ignoring the rest of the world. The real world of printmaking is almost the reverse - there is so much more going on in printmaking outside the U.S. than within it. Merely being a teacher/friend/colleague of the editor does not make someone an important artist. Being an art professor does not make someone an. A Customer said Good book but far too many N.A. artists represented.. I would have to agree with other's views that this book is dominantly abstract art. The reproduction is good, as is the price for this quality printing. Also, the variety of printmaking techniques is quite good. My biggest "beef" is with the title. At 75% North American content, this is hardly an "International" collection. There are serious gaps in the coverage. Minumal Eastern European and Far Eastern representation seriously reduces the importance of this volume as a true international collection
