DON'T GIVE UP! - By: PA HAMES, 31 Aug 2008
After hunting for a good no-nonsense 'how to' guide to screenprinting I pre-ordered the Print Liberation book, having judged it entirely on the basis of its cover (fair for a book about graphics, no?).

I wasn't disappointed - it's a brilliant & inspirational book, perfect for the guy who's never even seen (let alone burned) a screen. It's heavy on the pictures, light & conversational on the text, covers history of screenprinting & how to turn your hobby into art or business. Although it covers the necessary practicalities regarding screenprinting in a refreshingly craft-free (yet still very professional) way, it's reallly its passionate, positive & generous tone that has made me an evangelist. The guys who wrote this believe passionately in the sharing & spreading of skills, to the extent that they include transparencies of their graphic work in the back of the book for you to use!

If i had to make a criticism it would be that it's a bit too light on the copy - but that doesn't reallly matter. This reallly is a 'primer' : basic no nonsense facts about how to screenprint + healthy dose of inspiration + lots of pretty pictures & graphics. Its goal is to get you printing, & in that it succeeds. Don't give up!
