The following list of reference books is suggested as a beginning for further
exploration of subject matter, artists, and print processes. It is in no way a
complete list - watch for new titles and updates. Although many of the best references
are out of print, this does not necessarily mean they are unobtainable. Most of
the books listed here are normally available at Lyons Ltd; if we do not have the
book you are interested in, we would be happy to help you locate it.
