misleading title, but a very good book on carving the face on the cover.
this book was about carving the one native face shown on the cover, very little else.It was interesting and had a lot of help but was to limited in the basic steps in doing a range of faces and expressions. If i wanted to carve the face on the cover just like it is shown then i would be very happy, but one face no mater how good and pleasing it is covers all of the vast amount of types of faces and expressions there are. Just to limited in its range. the title is just misleading, other than that it is well worth looking at.
