..Other than what other reviewers have mentioned, I was a little disappointed the style of the inside manga had more of a butch 80's feel - the faces were uneven; didn't have wonderfully clean lines. The cover on the front gives you the impression (unless you know better) that THAT is the artist, or at least the drawing style.

But like what everyone has mentioned, it is a good book on teaching you persepective. It's just some things may distract you from the lesson at hand (if you're picky).

This is the book to get if you want to learn perspective. It doesn't just teach you 1st ,2nd, and 3rd point perspective but also shows you how to draw slopes (up & down), forked roads, indoor and outdoor scenes, stairs, and the very important how to draw the relative size from one object to another.More specifically, it touches on the basics - standing on the earth, drawing the outdoors, distance of natural objects, drawing indoor scenes, how to draw backgrounds, and special effects and character representation using perspective.

I noticed an error in one of the examples but other than that, this book is highly recommended for budding or intermediate artist's whether you're interested in making manga or not. Getting your character to fit with the surroundings is key even when making pin-ups.

Good book, but in response to "A Reader" above, about MangaSecrets. The site DOES in fact deliver. If you did not get your product for some reason it simply a case of writing to the support email address? If you know anything about email, you'd know that a large bulk of it is begin deleted by your ISPs before it gets anywhere near you and the product is delivered via email... So *perhaps* that is what happened?.. Anyway just my two cents.
