[Official Screen Printing Book Club] Anyone have some suggested reading?

[mimosatexas]

I recently came across an instructional book on screen printing from the early 60's at Half Price Books, and it got me thinking.  Does anyone have any screen printing books that are MUST reads, or any suggestions on books that have interesting niche info or industry history?  Any interest in starting a Screen Printing Book Club of sorts, where people suggest a book and we can read it and discuss?  Seems like an easy way to learn something new and promote conversation.

The book I found was seriously outdated, barely talking about photosensitive emulsions while talking at length about cutting out stencils, and a lot of the equipment looked seriously inefficient, BUT it was really interesting and I learned a lot of history.  I'll post the info and some scans of the book when I get home.

I recommend any of Bill Hood's books. Very informative and will open your eyes to many things. All of his books can be purchased and downloaded from his website. I think it's billhoodbooks.com

Awesome!  I'll check them out.

Any book by Scott Fresener.  Especially his art separation books.

Anything from Joe, Bill or Richard G.  There is nothing I've found as comprehensive as the M&R Professional Screen Printing Series book better known as the screen printers bible written by Joe about 12 years ago.  Everything in it still stands true, nothing is outdated even though it's older.
