Review
6 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Not quite what I expectedBy Kurt W. MelanconI was looking for some kimono designs to base paintings or tattoos off of. I looked at the cover and was pretty impressed so I thought Id order it. Well to my surprise the cover is pretty much the best stuff in there if your looking for more image based stuff. Not a bad book but I feel a little let down.
