From the blurb: "The tremendous resurgence of interest in old European prints has found collectors, dealers and students inadequately provided with accessible, comprehensive reference material, and Mr. Wilder's book makes good this deficiency in an eminently readable but essentially practical fashion. The first chapter, Some Hints to Collectors, gives, in fourteen sub-sections, a vast amount of information which is the distillate of the author's own fifty-five years of experience. It comprises: Summary of origin and processes, Prices and fashions, Reference books, Reprints and copies, Paper and watermarks, Repaired prints, Platemarks, Borderlines, Margins and inscriptions, Measurements, States, Falsification of states, Abbreviations, and Collectors. This is followed by Woodcut Line-Engraving, Northern), Line-Engraving in Italy, Line-Engraving in France, Line-Engraving in Britain, Etching, Mezzotint, Stipple, AquatintLithography, Printing, Colour Printing from Intaglio Plates, Hand- Coloured Prints, and a final chapter on Lost or Forgotten Processes. A notable feature is the large number of details showing how original works by certain masters can be distinguished from copies, some of which are extremely deceptive. As this book covers a span of some five and a half centuries, the reader is well served, both historically and technically, by an authority who for many years has been prints expert with Sotheby's, the world- famous London firm of art-auctioneers, and who now places his expertise at the service of a wider public.

Answers from the Heartcollects 50 of these most important and heartfelt questions posed to Thich Nhat Hanh by participants in his retreats and from his students, and offers his personal, heartfelt, and often surprising answers.These exchanges offer an accessible way into Buddhist teachings and often mix practical immediately applicable suggestions with ideas for further study and contemplation. The conversations also provide a lively glimpse into the connection between students and their teacher.Answers from the Heart's six thematic sections -- Daily Life, Living and Dying, Engaged Buddhism, Mindfulness Practice, Family and Relationships, and Children's Questions, make the book easily accessible for those new to Buddhism as well as for more experienced practitioners. Thich Nhat Hanh's answers condense Buddhist wisdom of 2500 years into individual answers that shine with diamond-like clarity and summarize Thich Nhat Hanh's own insight based on his lifetime of practice.About the AuthorThich Nhat Hanh is one of the most revered Zen teachers in the world today. His best-selling books include Happiness and Peace Is Every Step. He lives in Plum Village in southwest France, where he gardens, writes, and teaches the art of mindful living., Parallax Press (March 10, 2009), 0<
