This book was a real disappointment. It starts (very short) with some starting techniques but doesn't explain these enough to be of any real value to a beginner. The projects are mediocre at best (and that's being kind), too difficult for beginners, too easy for advanced airbrushers (and nowhere near enough explanation for an intermediate airbrusher to be of use). What got on my nerves is that under almost every picture of the step-by-step projects (mind you, the pictures are step by step, the explanation is rather poor) it says "clean your airbrush and flush it with water". I do have some airbrush experience and I honestly don't know which level of airbrusher might have use for this book.... perhaps airbrushers who forget to clean their airbrushes :-)
