    The Definitive Contemporary "How-to" Guide for Wood Engraving
  

*by J***H on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2016*

Simon Brett's Wood Engraving: How to Do It is (as far as I can find) the definitive contemporary wood engraving tutorial book. It is intended for beginner's, and I think most higher level engraving practice will likely come from time and experience. But finding a first step down the wood engraving path can happily start here.Brett brings a wealth of engraving experience to this book, and it helps that he is an effective and thoughtful writer. There is a very good outline of the basic needs and methods to get started engraving wood, as well as a lot of helpful reference material and guidance for finding and defining a piece of your own.That mixture of practical, historical, artistic, and reflective aspects of creating work of your own is what really elevates this beyond just piecing together odds and ends online or from a handful of other selections. Brett knows you are looking for the basic instruction of cutting, inking, and pressing, but offers so much more.The structure of this book gives some history and establishes the basics right away. After that, Brett does a good job of stressing the process of developing an idea, thinking in the language of wood engraving (tones and lines), and offers a realistic and flexible perspective throughout. Each person's work is a product of something more than just how they hold a tool, and Brett leaves plenty of room for you to peer into someone's process without insisting it is the only acceptable process.I would happily recommend this book for anyone looking to start out with wood engraving. You don't have to read it cover to cover, though I did because it was both well written and interesting. If you are looking for other books to start with, Barry Moser's Wood Engraving: The Art of Wood Engraving and Relief Engraving is also quite good (though not as comprehensive) and Brett's An Engraver's Globe offers a lot of inspiration and contemporary examples.

    Very detailed.
  

*by H***G on Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2013*

Probably the best of the wood engraving books available today. Wood engraving is not easy if you want to achieve the look of the best engravers.You don't need any other book. Simon Brett gives you everything you need to embark on your own journey.For starters the author's work is of a very high standard. He describes the tools, techniques, sharpening, different materials to engrave, then how to transfer the art work.Many engraving techniques are explained so that the student can understand and over-come the difficulty of light on dark engraving and achieve the desired values for the ultimate print.Finally different printing processes are described. No press is required and just a few high quality tools. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to try wood type engraving.Keep in mind there are many types of material you can engrave images on as a step in the block printing process.

    Recommended for Anyone Wanting to Engrave on Wood
  

*by A***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2017*

A great resource for those wanting to learn more about wood engraving. Detailed and illustrated with many photographs of art and techniques. The book is in a different order than you might expect, starting with the hand and how to carve, then the mind, how to think about your work. It ends with the tools and materials. Backwards from the normal way books like this are set up, but it works. The author has a section of excellent notes at the back also. I enjoyed the book a lot as it also includes the author's thoughts and reasoning more than simple technique guidance. Written in almost a conversational style, an enjoyable read.
