This book focuses primarily on landscape burning. Lora Irish is one of the best pyrographers working today. She is what the rest of us strive to be like. Although some of the designs are duplicates from her other books, because this book deals strictly with landscapes, it's a little more in depth. I really think this was a good addition to my burning library.
