Guptill's Drawing With Pen and Ink has been a landmark in the literature of ink technique for many years. The volume has gone through many printings and reached many thousands of students. It has been out of print for a number of years because the plates had become worn, and a sharp reprint was no longer possible. Originally published in 1928, this 1961 printing has been edited to reflect the changes in taste and interest that transpired between 1928 & 1961. A number of chapters have been combined; several, covered in other books, have been dropped; two, The Pen Combined with Other Mediums and Pen and Ink in Illustration, have been entirely rewritten; and a short concluding chapter has been added.
