David Macaulay's Craft

When David Macaulay published "Cathedral" in 1973 it was an instant classic of children's literate. It has sold thousands of copies, never been out of print and has been translated into numerous languages. Macaulay followed the success of "Cathederal" with a number of highly successful books that followed the life cycles of buildings. Macaulay's pen and ink books have developed quite a dedicated following over the years. "Building the Book Cathedral" was published on the Twenty Fifth Anniversary of the release of "Cathederal". The purpose of this book was to explain the creative process that went into creating "Cathedral". Not only does the book have his intial sketches, more importantly it delves into his method of writing books. This book is a must for all fans of Macaulay's craft. Highly recommended
