Exceptional5
This is unquestionably one of the most complete books on artistic perspective available. Though originally published in 1921, the information contained in this book is as relevant today (Feb. 2000) as it was then. It includes 278 pages of text, exceptional drawings, and clear explanations on topics such as inclined planes, turrets, domes, arches, steeples, the perspective of the sky and the sea, boats, pavements, etc. This is a serious book for serious students, and clearly, it is a book to own. Highly recommended.

The best book on the market for the beginner and up.5
A simple yet refined book of an old world craft.To date there is no other book avaible that incapulates the fundimentals in an orderly fashion.I personally recommend this book to students of any art field.The jargon is easy to absorb and translate.Know a good book when you see one!

A must have book for serious artist5
This book has been a great source of information to me for years Although I have not read all the books available it is hard for me to think anyone has come up with a better or simpler way to explain this critical subject of prospective. How many artist I have met while teaching, that have struggled with trying to produce a professional drawing because they did not devote the time to read this book and practice what it teaches. Buy it and use it if you are serious about art.
