This is an entertaining guide that doubles as a comic book with tales of professional screenprinting and all the drama that goes along with it. . . An enjoyable read, and definitely educational. Profane Existence
An impressively thorough and entertaining read, even if you don't know a vector from a raster. anonymous
Isaacson’s guide is definitely the guide that I would turn to if I had the desire to try screenprinting on my own. He lists great resources for getting the necessary tools, and throughout the text explains the pros and cons of the numerous approaches to screenprinting. Along with its overflowing fountain of helpful information, Do-It-Yourself Screenprinting represents a wonderful and entertaining culture of DIYers and craftsters alike. Feminist Review
Now this is what I need! Like a typical dumb American don't expect me to learn anything unless it's presented to me in neat pictures with funny stories. Yes, I have attempted to understand how to do screenprinting on countless occasions with nary any luck. Then again, I've also never attempted to watch someone do it or anything either. I've just tried reading a lot of things with just confusion following me every step of the way. So here we have this handy book/ comic that dishes out the details. Now, whatever possessed a guy to do a comic zine about screenprinting is beyond me, but it has proven useful. Hanging Hex
Throughout the book Isaacson peppers the narrative with so many useful tips and techniques it makes me want to call in sick to work so I can try them out. Now all I need is some new screens and a photo-emulsion kit and some ink and anything with a surface I can print on. Bookmans
