Buy it while you still can!

Buy Basic Perspective from this author along with this and really spend some time with these books. You'll thank yourself for the rest of your career. These books lay out perspective drawing in a fairly easy to understand format with lots of step-by-step diagrams. I own, and have read, 12 books on perspective drawing and these are the books I go back to again and again. I'm buying another copy of each, because mine are worn out. Fair warning: These books definitely teach the technical stuff. You may not feel that you need to know the craft of perspective drawing at this level. That's your call, but I find that most artists who lack this knowledge... well, it shows in their work. The only real drawback to this book is that the language is a bit overly dry and academic for my taste. But then It was written by an English architect in the 70's, so what do you want? The easy to follow diagrams make it worth the read. I don't think this is still in print, which is sad, so buy it while you still can.
