Watson-Guptill, 1992. — 176 р. — ISBN: 978-0823025329.This book results from the collaboration of many people. Regarding art supplies, a large number of manufacturers graciously provided me with many of the products discussed herein. The technical and material involvement of many of these manufacturers went far beyond the bounds of enlightened self- interest - they were downright courageous. Knowing that I would report on the their products' weaknesses, as well as their strengths, they nonetheless welcomed the opportunity- to have their products evaluated in direct comparisons. If there is one lesson to be learned from the product evaluations, is must be that the majority of people making artist's materials are motivated by more
than mere profit. They have a deep pride in their work - and it shows.
