Recommend a second book on printing

[36cm2]

I picked up the Ephraums book on the basis of some of the recommendations on this thread. Very cool book. Very practical from the perspective of seeing how Mr. Ephraums approached these twenty prints. Don't know how long it would take, or whether I'm even able, to develop his pre-visualization abilities, but the book has definitely gotten me to thinking more about it.

I most definitely don't recommend "Edge of Darkness", it's a very uninformative rambling book, one of the least helpful I've ever bought. I've not seen Tim's book but I'm sure it won't have the one sided bias that Thornton's book contains.

I just received the three Ansel books and Thornton´s, and I must say that I now fully agree with you . I believe the most frequent word in the book is also the shortest possible (I). And this rediculous obsession with sharpness... As if prettiness were the purpose of "fine-art".
At least his chapter on developers was interesting (new) to me, but the rest... gosh... were it at least silence.

On the other hand, after skimming through Ansel´s Book 1 I´m looking forward to the other two.
