Hi Virginia,
I have a book that I listed in my store Katierene’s Collectible Treasures titled Etching, Engraving and Other Intaglio Printmaking Techniques. It might be something you are interested in. If you go to my store and look in the newest listed items it in on the second row.
Hope this helps, Katierene
