Risomania: The New Spirit of Printing

Except for the fact that the author seemed to enjoy the use of big, unnecessary words in text, the information contained, profiles and images were of interest. I would have rated the book 5 stars if the author would have used straight talk.

Great production values and design make for a fantastic book. It is filled with useful information and ideas.

It’s a beautiful book. Having a Riso is my dream and this is a very informative compilation of information. One of the most interesting parts is that they actually talk about the community of studios and presses around the world. Loved it.

Very cool book that goes through the history of stencil based duplication. Must have book for anyone interested in Riso.

Risomania: The New Spirit of Printing is a lavish, beautiful, inspiring collection that highlights this low tech way of printing - particularly for posters, fanzines and retro looking ephemera.The book features lots of wonderful eye candy including work from Featuring: 476, Alt Går Bra, Atto, Bananafish Books, Bene Rohlmann, Calipso Press, Charles Nypels Lab, Colorama, Colour Code, Design Displacement Group, Dizzy Ink, Drucken 3000, Eleonora Marton, Fazed Grunion, Foto Kino, Gato Negro Ediciones, Hansje van Halem, Hato Press, Hurrikan, Ink’chacha, Inkwell Press, Issue Press, Knuckles&Notch, Moniker Press, Print Club Torino, Printed Goods, Riso Club, Riso Presto, Riso Trip, Risomat, Risotto, Sandwich Mixto, Sigrid Calon, Studio Kkoya, Super Terrain, Tan & Loose, Topo Copy, Viktor Hachmang, We Make It, Woolly Press, &sowalter, Erwin Blok, Korners, Gato Negro Ediciones, Calipso and more.Also worth a mention is the book design itself, which feels very tactile, with a great emphasis on paper stock. Beautiful. Highly recommended.

Excellent book

A great overview of this type of printing. I’m sure I’ll refer to it again and again.

Very good

Ich wollte mich schon seit langen mit dem Thema beschäftigen. Durch dieses Buch gibt es noch weitere Informationen die ich noch nicht wusste und gute Bsp. für die Anwendung. Im ersten Teil wird viel Erklärt, im zweiten gibt es viele Bsp. zur Insipration.
