For beginners to relief carving there are stage by stage development pieces progressing to the real art-form of this difficult but most rewarding craft. And for the more experienced, teaching pointers to guide the carver towards his [or her] own artistic potential.
The book is packed full of illustrations - both line drawings and photographs - in nearly all cases the work of the author, and with examples of lettering used in both working examples and as carvable alphabets.

This lovely book is in excellent condition, especially given it's age. It looks as if it has barely been opened with all pages clean and tightly bound. The dust cover shows minimal signs of use. There are a couple of minor marks on the edges of the closed pages...nothing bad or obvious.
