Summary: Great book, especially in terms of graphics reproductions
Comment: The strongest quality about this book is probably its graphical reproductions. A luxurious smorgasbourg of reproductions of Rembrandt's etchings provide a thorough, comprehensive display of Rembrandt's mysterious artistic wizardry. These reproductions are also of amazing quality: the printing is extremely sharp and crisp, imparting a 3-dimensional feel to the etchings that is absolutely critical for bringing them out. The quality of the graphical reproductions is really considerably superior to the high-quality reproductions given in the less expensive Dover edition of Rembrandt's etchings.
The text is also readable and interesting, although mainly I paid attention to the etchings and graphics .... Of particular interest (to me, at least) is White's explanation of the etching process, including a full-color photo of one of Rembrandt's surviving copper etchings of a reclining nude.
Another nice thing about this book in general is that it was not only written by one who is fascinated by and an expert in etching, but also one who had worked in museums and had special access to these etchings for photography purposes, which may account for their reproductive excellence. It's a big, glossy, deluxe coffee-table book that's worth the price.
