5.0 out of 5 stars The original and best Celtic Art Reference Book, 10 Nov 1999

By A Customer

If you are interested in the construction of Celtic Art then this is the definitive book. It was the first book to allow the masses a sight into how the art of the Celts was done and it's still the best. This book will teach you how to draw knotwork, spirals, key patterns and more. If I can do it then so can you. Another review says that the copying of patterns is questionable as Art but that was never the intention of this book, it was made to inspire the reader to attempt to create new designs rather than just copy the old.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece - THE reference for celtic art construction, 7 Sep 1999

By A Customer

This classic work shows in easy steps how to recreate the various constructions associated Celtic Art - whether knots, spirals, or lettering. In some areas George Bain also shows how the same constructions are used elsewhere in the world. The basic components of, sometimes complex, devices are shown and easy, step-by-step "methods of construction" are provided. This enables the reader to build up complex patterns with no previous artistic or celtic art knowledge. Some reviews question whether the building of knotwork patterns in this mechanistic way is really "art": whilst this may be valid, there is no doubt that this book enables anyone to build impressive and highly attractive borders and patterns in the Celtic style. A must for anyone interested in understanding or building their own Celtic artwork.

5.0 out of 5 stars The master work, 24 Jan 2007

By	D. LIGHTBODY "davel22" (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is undoubtedly the master work on this glorious artform of the celts, picts, norse & la tene cultures.

George Bain's book is profusely illustrated with pages and pages of his technical and artistic work, as he tried to derive the rules of construction from the standing stones and ancient books. And what a great job he did.

This is undoubtedly one of the finest books I have ever seen period, and is a treasured part of my personal library. If in doubt, buy it.

On a general note, if you are a beginner this may be somewhat overwhelming in detail, and it may be best to buy this along with one of the more step-by-step beginners guides.
