The Book of Fine Paper: A Worldwide Guide to Contemporary Papers for Art, Design and Decoration
This is a reference guide to the finest papers available in the world today.
It explains how different papers are made, what they are used for and where to
find them. Special features of the book include: full descriptions of dozens of
different varieties of paper, with details of character, manufacture, usage and
where to find them; practicalities - how to store, fold, cut, tear paste, preserve
and repair papers; diagrams on papermaking; a guide to sizes and weights, and a
glossary of terms; a comprehensive international list of makers, sellers and sources
of information; a selection of paper samples, especially mounted so that their weight
and texture can be felt. The essence of each type of paper is discussed in detail,
concentrating on handmades, but also covering mouldmades and fine machinemades. A
section documents paper usage, looking at delicate sheets (for watercolour, drawing,
etching, bookmaking and computer output) as well as decorative stock in beautiful and
unusual colours, sizes, textures, surfaces and contents. Illustrations display the rich
diversity of papers - from shades of white to wild and rough Costa Rican handmades, as
well as an extensive range of watermarks.

Jack Yeats
Jack Yeats (1871-1957) stands a a major figure in Irish 20th-century art. An
isolated artist throughout his life, Yeats dominated soley through the talent,
magic and inventiveness of his painting. His vision and his standing, as well
as the many critical judgments during the 40 years since his death have provoked
controversies which the author confronts. In this biography Bruce Arnold tells the
full story of the artist's life and analyzes his prodigious output. This included
not only some 1000 paintings and vast numbers of illustrations, comic cartoons,
drawings and watercolours, but also seven novels and nine plays. Based on research
among primary sources, this illustrated book describes the life of the son of the
portrait painter John Butler Yeats and the younger brother of the poet William Butler
Yeats. It provides a portrait of the complex and enigmantic artist whose reputation
and artistic vision have become increasingly admired in the years since his death.
