What the reviewers say

	British Wood-Engraved Book Illustration 1904-1940 A Break with Tradition Joanna Selborne `This book exceeds all other surveys on wood engraving in its far-reaching embrace of the cultural and historical background. Joanna Selborne has effectively redug the whole terrain by quarrying publishers' files, art-school records, minute-books of print societies and correspondence in public and private archives. She has also interviewed some of the artists whose work she discusses, is an expert on printing methods and astute on the complex relations between artist and publisher. In addition, her analyses of specific images are spirited and finely alert to issues of style and content ... By making us attend repeatedly to the balance between image and text and their position on the page, Selborne inadvertently sharpens the reader's awareness of the fine printing and generous layout that contribute to the stature of this desirable book.'
