I bought this book to have a glimpse into what the life of the concept artist looks like. I received what I wanted. Nice illustrations, and a great guide for the folks starting concept artist career in the US. However, if you are not an aspiring young concept artist, this book is not all that useful and a bit too obvious at times.
