Upon first inspection, I realized some of the material in this book had been drawn from Fred Dubery's fine publication Perspective and Other Drawing Systems. Then I saw the author had in fact worked with her teacher Mr. Dubery, so I am happy it has his blessing. This is an excellent concise foundation course in seeing and perspective drawing (I especially appreciated the inclusion of rare four and five point systems), as well as an effective compendium of other projection systems. There is more substance in this book, more direct visual information, than many other bulkier, stuffier efforts. Why confuse the issue? Get to the point and pick this little book up.

Great Reading for Good Readers

My nephew requested for his eleventh birthday. He was found under his blankets with a flashlight reading the book. Highly recommended
