Ever wonder what a rotogravure is? Or how to do a pantograph etching? MacArthur Fellow and former Dean of the Yale School of Art, Richard Benson, published a book this fall that is a must have for print collectors, The Printed Picture. This book is a series of one-page essays on the techniques of printing reproducible images along with pictures of examples. MOMA in NYC also currently is doing a show based on this book, so you can go there are see actual examples up close (instead of looking at reproductions of reproduced images). The book retails for $60, but is only $37.80 on Amazon.

The exhibition was really good...but there was really too much information to soak up in a visit. I need the book.
