Summary: Print Liberation
Comment: Page for page "Print Liberation, The Screen Printing Primer" is by far the best introduction to screen printing out there. Excellent color photographs and illustrations, materials lists, step-by-step instructions, and helpful troubleshooting ideas. I also enjoy the short historical blurbs that help contextualize screen printing--from its origins in adverts to the lofty heights of Warhol. Print Liberation has a back in the day DIY feel in its total sharing of tips and techniques. You get the sense the authors want you to surpass them in awesomeness. Can't be beat. If you've never screen printed before it'll get you where you want to go.

Comment: This book includes all the information you need to try some basic screen printing. The instructions are detailed enough to lead a complete novice through the screen printing process without being redundant or uninteresting. The book also has some great graphics and covers some valuable information on screen printing history and important figures in its development.

Summary: great resource
Comment: This is a fantastic purchase for both beginner and experienced silkscreeners, but is particularly great for those wanting to get started. The book is inspiring and interesting, providing detailed steps for creating your own prints on fabric, paper, and other objects. It also includes a history of silkscreening, a glossary, material supplier information, tips for starting your own business, and several free transparencies that you can use for your first print. Great buy- I highly recommend it.

Summary: I've Been Liberated!
Comment: This book is a great primer on screen printing! It is kind of like "T-shirts for Fun & Profit"-lite. This book is particularly useful for the weekend warrior or part-time entrepreneur. The step-by-step examples are terrific and clearly explained. As soon as I paged through it I came up with some ideas.
That said, if you are looking for more detailed information, you should also pick-up How to Print T-Shirts for Fun and Profit. But get this one, too!
