5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, inspiring and exciting!, 7 Sep 2004
This review is from: Illustrating Children's Books: Creating Pictures for Publication (Paperback)
At last I've found a truly exciting and updated guide to Children's Book Illustration!!!

This book is all in full colour, brilliantly laid out on glossy paper, with hundreds of examples of work by various illustrators of different nationalities, using all sorts of media and working on a wide range of projects.

The text is pretty detailed and clear in its approach: it doesn't waffle or patronise the reader and, as the author remarks, this is finally a book by a writer who 'thinks in pictures' like most other artists.

Apart from attracting new and experienced illustrators, this book is also interesting for those considering taking up illustration as an area of academic study, since the author, Martin Salisbury, is course director for the UK's first M.A. programme in Children's Book Illustration at APU Cambridge School of Art.

As Salisbury explains: "This is not a 'how to book'... It aims instead to help readers understand how they might progress to a level of work that is satisfying and ... publishable."

I'm really enthusiastic about this book and I'm totally glad it's been published!!! We art lovers have been waiting for it for ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only book you'll need..., 2 Oct 2007
By Mrs. Sylvia Bull (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the best and only book on the market that gives you a thorough and complete understanding of children's book illustration. With charming examples throughout it gives a sophisticated yet easy to read picture of the current childrens book market and what illustrating for them is really all about.
