Taylor's work is a must for anyone interested in the woodcut print, and especially the work of J.J. Lankes. His biographical sketch of Lankes' life is complete without ponderous detail. The critical summary of his work is also fascinating. But it is the work of Lankes himself, spread liberally throughout the book that gave this reader the greatest delight. I only wish Taylor had included more examples of Lankes' woodcuts! The book itself is a fine example of quality bookmaking. The binding, cover, type face, printing and overall size add to the value.
