The first thing to say about this book is that it has incredibly attractive photography throughout. While maybe in a tutorial I might have wanted to see a different view the gist of the project can be grasped and after all only so many pictures can practically fit in such a book. I think from childhood I knew a few things learned at my mother's knee, but this is great for reference or relearning once again. Since the book arrived it has spent more time in hand reading than on the shelf and I think that is definitely a good sign.
