"This book is not a treatise upon the art of wood-engraving. It is simply a description of the tools and materials required by a beginner and the method of using them. It is not intended to assist anyone to become a commercial engraver, for that trade requires long and specialized training. It is intended rather for those who have occasion or opportunity or inclination to make illustrations of ornaments for books who are revolted by the degradation to which the art of formal drawing has been brought by photographic 'process' reproduction'-- from introduction by Eric Gill
