Based on the size of the book and price you pay for it you might think you are getting a lot of content and a good deal. This is not so. It turns out to be very large type font with most pages being almost blank and often only having one or two sentences on them. The book feels very amateur and unpolished and it feels like the author doesn't actually have that much experience, both in writing and in drawing. I would recommend skipping this one and going with something else. There are a lot of better books about sketching than this one, classics and contemporary.
