Good depth,beautiful pictures,historical,cultural and econmi

This is a great book. Covers argillite carving from a number of perspectives. Has interviews with some well known carvers and presents their point of view. Gives soome of the cultural perspective though it does not particularly present the Haida view. Some beautiful examples.
