Needs more pictures to be a really great book.
It would be a good book for a textbook. Very informative. I was really hoping for a lot more pictures. The Swiss carver I was looking for information on was not mentioned although there were several examples of his work, including one on the cover. Since he is a fairly well known craftsman I was hoping he would be featured, which was the main reason I purchased the book. I find it hard to get good biographical information on him.
