""Roberts deals expertly with the deeper meaning of making something meant to be made again. . . . Intellectually rich and provocative.""---Murray Whyte, Harvard Magazine ""On every page of this book there is an idea with the potential to transform the reader’s perspective, not only on print, but also on culture more broadly. . . . In a burgeoning field of art-historical studies that take the fine-grained specifics of materiality as their focus, Contact is one of the most exciting contributions to date.""---Christina J. Faraday, Apollo ""[Roberts] redeems a process we dismiss too breezily. . . . A chronicle of creativity as well as a redemption of printmaking.""---Jeannette Cooperman, Common Reader ""An articulate, creative exploration of this unique artist–medium relationship."" * Choice * ""[Contact] offers a fresh perspective on printmaking, synthesizing simple maneuvers like reversal and pressure to account for the medium’s expansive influence. . . . The book is both conversational and accessible. . . . A must read. . . . Contact introduces a new way of thinking about print.""---Ann Shafer, Platemark Podcast
