good references- kinda NC Kayak Grrl this is a very comprehensive book of images, but they are all super tiny and you can tell they were shrank down from much larger images and not edited well. the lines are very close together on a lot of the drawings and make the effect a little blurry. i still like having it around for reference.. "great book" according to L. Hermes. The book is just amazing. Everytime I pick it up new things pop out at me and I have looked through it many times already.. "Five Stars" according to Yulia. Work as supposed to - best one
