I expected this book to have wonderful up close pictures to show you how to do the poses, well....the pictures that it does have are tiny and in black and white, hard to see fully and alot more writing than I think was needed. I seen this book on Rachel Ray and seen the woman who wrote it at her studio teaching and it looked great, the book not so. I was very dissapointed in it and will have to find another one that I can see better and understand better. It could have at least been in color to see a little better.
