Largly writing except for first few chapters. Quite a few black and white photographs (none as large as half page size that I can see) giving egs of projects, usually alongside the pages of writing. Small font.

[Michael Anderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Written in 1936, it's very concise and comprehensive, covering all aspects of wood carving, from whittling folk art to elaborate relief and decorative art, with ample instructions for getting started and honing your skills at the craft.

This is a classic must read book if you love woodcarving.
