My business is cutting mats for original fine art, printers and photographers. I am not a fine artists, printer or photographer. I have not read all of these books. However, they either had good reviews, seem to cover a subject objectively, look interesting, are recommended by people or groups I consider reliable or I have actually read the book and liked it. Most are available at Amazon and other booksellers.
