Don't waste your time with other books. Read this first! I screwed around with other books, and even a few video tapes before running across this. I underestimated the book at first (mainly due to the title-it sounded to me like one of those "I'll show you how to make money!" garbage books) But, I was presently surprised, and my shirts didn't turn out well until I read this.
It is written by Scott Fresener who is one of the industry's leaders, and he also runs a screen printing school in AZ. Many of the other books I've seen are on a craft level, or talk about ways of doing things that are from the 70's and way out of date.
This book will give you a good overview of the whole process, equipment used and your options at several price levels (home made to large production), and even has plans to make your own press. It is a valuable resource that will save you lots of time and money.

Wow! You really CAN learn something on your own! This book has it all: over a hundred full color step-by-step photographs showing how to prepare photo, paper, and brushed stencils and how to print. The focus is on professional quality results on paper or fabric using water-based inks. There are lots of extras, too, like how to do monoprints, how to blend colors and how to do repeat printing on fabric. Even a side bar on those classic screenprinted rock and roll posters from the sixties!
I think one of the book's strengths is its practicality. It shows you how to register and print perfectly using a simple frame screen -- no expensive vacuum table needed -- and how to set up an inexpensive exposure unit using household supplies.
I think this book speaks to several different audiences. I'm an artist who primarily paints, but I've long wanted to learn how to do serigraph editions without having to take a class and this book is perfect for me. My sister, who designs cards and linens, loves it, too.
