Magical Secrets the Art of Incised Lines by Brooks
Author Catherine Brooks is a master printer at Crown Point Press, printers and publishers of etchings since 1962, and she draws on the venerable history of that institution to create an inspirational and highly usable how-to book.

The practical information is artist-centered, with illustrations and discussions of line etchings and engravings enhanced by quotations from the artists who made them. Included with the book is a DVD with Catherine Brooks and Kathan Brown demonstrating the step-by-step techniques. Published by Crown Point Press, 2007. Color and black & white illustrations, 207 pages. Instructional DVD included.
