Hey, Johnny WV
by now you have received John Shipper's book. I purchased mine last year and found it amazing, refreshing, and fascinating, well written, couldn't put the thing down until I read it from cover to cover.
Being in the engraving trade as long as John Shipper, I found myself agreeing with every phase of his work while at the same time picking up several tips. Wish you well! Remember, it's not practice that makes you perfect; it's
perfect practice that makes you perfect.
