I love this book. I am an intermediate level printmaking student and it has helped me so much. I have a lot more confidence with etching my plates, and I know how to get what I want out of them. It helps with techniques from learning to time your acid baths, preparing, tool orientation, etc. It has been a great help in the lab.
A good reference
