I had to read this book for my 3D design course and while it was required reading it didn't have a lot of overlap with the course material other than background information. It was helpful and gave me a good basis of knowledge, but it wasn't groundbreaking. It was functional! But it wasn't a how-to, and it wasn't a deep dive into the history of 3D design, more of an overview of what sculptural design is. I wouldn't have picked it for fun but it was a good course material book.
