I Amazoned it and see it may be written by a new author now. My time with it was the 80's. I doubt they gave it over to her if she didn't follow what they used to preach but do not hesitate to get an older, used edition. It is eye-opening. If you are toying with drawing then definitely give it a shot. Again, I can't do the likes of those last two pencil sketches but I can communicate a place or person effectively.
