More like Portfolio book, complementary to The Master Photographer's Lith Printing Course. If you're looking for in-depth infos about lith printing, go with the former book

Difficile d'établir une critique alors que ce dernier est réellement une suite du The Master Photographer's Lith Printing Course. Comme je n'ai pas ce livre, je dois dire qu'initialement, j'ai été un peu déçu à cause du manque d'information sur la technique en chambre noire. Par contre, et c'est le but de l'auteur, c'est de démontrer que cette technique peut servir d'inspiration pour interpréter un cliché et ajouter une touche personnelle inimitable.

This is a very well rounded book that starts with the basics of traditional photo printing and move up through much more advance techniques. It is well written and easy to follow. Each topic is covered in great detail and many examples are shown, including step by step photos of what you can expect. This is one of the more referenced books in my personal collection.

If you have any interest in lith printing you would be well served by this book. The author has provided much information on technique and materials, and is well illustrated with examples and thorough notes. A formulary is included in the rear of the book for reference.
