Dover usually does a great job with their efforts; but somebody at the company did a questionable job with this reproduction.This is the exact same book as the The Art of Drawing in content; the difference being size (length x width) and reproduction quality. Drawing Lessons is smaller in overall size; being about 10-7/8" x 8-1/4"; which would be fine except that the drawings are actually slightly blurry! You may not even notice if you only get this volume; youd have to get both books to compare them directly side by side.As it turns out; The Art of Drawing by Madison books; which is about 11" x 8-1/2"; has superior reproduction: this is especially noticeable in the excellent drawings of women children. Since both titles are essentially the same book with slightly different dimensions; Id normally give them the exact same rating; yet Drawing Lessons being blurry in its reproduction seems pretty unacceptable to me.The only reason Id recommend getting Drawing Lessons is if the other title is no longer available; or Dover re-releases this with better production quality. It really is that simple.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
