She explains the techniques used by today's printmakers, accompanied by a brief history of printmaking.

Rosslyn answers the commonly asked questions to help the reader navigate this often mysterious world. There are tips and expert advice from artists, print dealers, paper conservators, picture framers and art handlers, alongside reproductions of some of the finest prints from the collection of the Royal Academy of Arts, making this book the perfect companion for anyone interested in buying or collecting prints, whether old master or contemporary. A Buyer's Guide to Prints is published in association with the London Original Print Fair, held each year at the Royal Academy of Arts, London.
