 Not what I was expecting October 2, 2008

This book was recommeded by William Maughan in his book The Artist's Complete Guide to Drawing the Head. I thought Maughan's book was great and was hoping this would be more of the same. Unfortunately not. Essentially all this book is is a written discripion of various parts of the body, written in very arcane language, with a few pencil sketches of body parts. The descriptions of the body parts do not even refer to the sketches. Definately not for beginners and experienced artists should not waste their time trying to parse the erudite language of this book.
 great book March 31, 2008

if you're an artist or just someone who wants to learn how to draw.. this is a great book to have
Recommended by my drawing instructor. November 1, 2007
Kelli Maier (oh so Ohio)
This book does require some patience but it can also be worked with by just copying the drawings.( although I DO read it in between raising children and keeping up with art school homework) I really learned a lot by doing extra credit assignments given by my figure drawing instructor, that involve copying plates from this book. br /
Great instruction October 11, 2007
K. Holmes (Miami FL)
Great illustration. It can sometimes be very hard to read, but I've learned a lot of anatomy from it. I have a lot of anatomy books and this is by far the best for drawing. It gave it 4 out of 5 stars just based on the verbal content. br /

It is simple and easy to read book to help artist to have a general understand of the human body. There are good sample drawings with the text.
