This book is highly recommended for artists, historians, and enthusiasts of printmaking. Cundall'Äôs thorough examination invites readers to appreciate wood-engraving as both a technical skill and an artistic expression, offering valuable insights into its enduring legacy in the art world. Readers will find that Cundall'Äôs work serves as both a comprehensive introduction and a critical reference for understanding wood-engraving's historical significance.

Listen as Babs Johnson fights to hold on to her title as “Filthiest Person Alive,“ fending off the craven attempts to dethrone her by her nemeses Connie and Raymond Marble.Waters takes us on a romp through his filthy vision of Baltimore, from a child’s playpen occupied by an egg-worshipping grandmother to unhinged kangaroo courts, to the film’s iconic and revolting coup de grace (no spoilers, but it is just as stomach-churning on the page more than fifty years later!). Pink Flamingos is John Waters at his provocative, disgusting, piety-puncturing best, with the hellish and hilarious trash masterpiece that first made him a household name.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
