Book Reviews of Collage : A New Approach

Book Review: A Great Technical Guide
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a very beginning beginner at collage and am so glad I found this little gem of a book! The method that Talbot has devised is ingenious and makes so much sense.

I liked the way he organized the book...first he did an overview of the process and then went into great detail about each step in this process. For a beginner like me, his careful explanations of how to do this and of the tools involved was marvelous and much appreciated.

In addition to exlplaining his technique of adhering materials without using liquid adhesives, Talbot touches on the history of collage, some collage artists to look for, why to varnish, the kinds of papers to use as a substrate, how to prepare a surface for adhesion, and how to present the finished collage.

As another reviewer mentioned, the appendix is a great resource, especially the appendix that explains all of the materials and tools used. I also liked the appendix that gave web sites of interest to collage artists.
