It appears that it is out-of-print but sounds worthy of a search in out-of-print dealers. It is a 32 page picture book that has been described by Publishers Weekly as a story that provides a "...portrait of an involving intergenerational relationship [that] is warm and welcome. As the story's narrator, the boy balances a certain maturity and respect for his grandfather's work with typical kidlike thoughts and reactions. Readers are also rewarded with a bit of an education: Geisert provides a precisely labeled illustration of an etcher's studio, as well as a detailed spread explaining, in stages, how an etching is made.

His ...Thank you for this post about Arthur Geisert. His work is unusual and endlessly fascinating. He creates visually detailed stories using the ancient art of etching and after each illustration is finished, he paints it with watercolor. For anyone not sure what exactly goes into doing an etching, I'd recommend his book for children, THE ETCHER'S STUDIO.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02891797060944709216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970886194398118370.post-86860657398847232872013-09-09T06:42:38.883-07:002013-09-09T06:42:38.883-07:00Thanks for helping to get the word out, Sharron.

They did a great job, and understood very quickly that the box was magic. I hadn't thought of connecting it with books like Stone Soup & Strega Nona, thought.
