1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Lovely drawings. Instructional material sadly does not do justice to the art work.By DoclingGood resource. I found the drawings to be very helpful. Oddly enough; the captions and instructional content did not have the same elegant flow as the drawings. I couldnt get the "tone" of the written material -- partly because of the way it was laid out. Some of the captions were in tiny fonts; others in cursive; it almost read like a rambling journal with lovely pictures.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
