There are a couple about - I've seen a few at my University Library. Thing is
they're all oldish publications (probably published late sixties / early
seventies) so it sounds like they haven't been reprinted. Which is a pity, 'cos
they were pretty good - the Riley one I looked at was very comprehensive. There
was also quite funny one instructing you on how to create your own Op art
creations. All these 1960s pictures of 'grammar school' kids creating their own
swinging masterpieces....
The only two I can remember are general Op Art books by Cyril Barrett and
published by Studio Vista / Dutton Publications. I think they were brought out
around 1970/71.
