"This accessible and practical guide to realistic drawing basics has wide appeal." Library Journal
"Stands out as one of the very few [books] that could earn a place on the bookshelves of artists and nonartists alike as 'essential.'" Foreword Reviews
In 1928, at the age of twenty-two, Peter Beilenson began printing books on a small press in the basement of his parents’ home in Larchmont, New York. Peter—and later, his wife, Edna—sought to create fine books that sold at ''prices even a pauper could afford.''
Today, still family owned and operated, Peter Pauper Press continues to honor our founders’ legacy—and our customers’ expectations—of beauty, quality, and value.
