"Moser holds a place among the top tier of the top tier of illustrators. He is one of the foremost living practitioners of wood engraving, an unforgiving medium in which he has developed a style characterized by studied realism and fine attention to detail. "-- "Art Fuse" "Moser is arguably the preeminent bookman in the world today, working as an artist, printmaker, and designer. "-- "University California Library Blog" "Moser, one of the most widely acknowledged printmaking geniuses in the world. "-- "Catholic Library World" "Moser' s engravings are direct and sometimes harrowing. "-- "San Fransisco Chronicle" "Moser' s small, firmly detailed, strongly textured, and subtly expressive black-and-white portraits demonstrate all that art can grasp and encompass. "-- "Booklist"
