5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 5 Mar 2007
By Stuart L "Blaise" (Portsmouth, UK) - See all my reviews
Being a student, I bought this book to help me with my graphics course. It is full of amazing contemporary illustrations carefully selected to complete a great book. Many types and varieties of pictures in the book help to create a very helpful collection that will give any artist inspiration after taking even the quickest glance. Great book, buy it.
