This book focuses on making prints from found or cheap objects - as opposed to highly expensive printing machines and computers. Mandy Bonnell and Steve Mumberson show the reader how to make highly sophisticated prints while using comparatively cheap materials. In many parts of the world, this is the standard way of printing but there is certainly a place for it in Western countries and students particularly will be very interested in the methods shown.
