" . In THE ILLUSTRATOR'S NOTEBOOK artists discuss their philosophy and standards of illustration, the history of illustration, its place in the arts, its place as a means of communication today, and their own experiences with various illustration techniques ~ such as collage, lithography, woodcut, scratchboard, cardboard cuts, crowquill pen, and several ways of preparing color illustration by preseparated art. In its exploration of the illustrator's concerns, this volume is multi~purpose. It is intended for artists who need knowledge of the development and history of illustration, particularly in the children's book field; for those with fine arts training who need to discover the scope of technical or commercial illustration problems; for those with technical or commercial training who need to respond to a fine arts approach; and for authors, teachers, students, and librarians who are interested in" children's book illustration in general. As the title implies, the form is that of notes or excerpts from longer articles which appeared in The Horn Book Magazine, including articles from "The Artist at Work" series and the "Artist's Choice" series.
