Pretty good. Probably the best sections are the mitsuro projects.
The black and white photography is mostly passable, but in some cases doesn't illustrate the technique well enough.
The translation from Japanese is reasonably good, but could definitely have benefitted from proof reading by an English speaking waxcarving expert.
In some cases the carving process doesn't follow the ideal sequence of steps.

Well illustrated and straight forward for the advanced techniques for the lost art of using wax modeling to make jewelry. The book contains photographic step by step instructions for making jewerly. Definitely advanced. Beautiful jewelry.
