A classic, must-have book Beautiful book! I'm trying to learn how to draw. I take trace paper and trace these images. They are detailed so a great way to gain muscle memory in my hands. An excellent book for any student or just to have on your shelf!. Highly recommended. This is a book I used to constantly check out from the library years ago. Highly recommended.. A great collection for your stock/resource library. This is a wonderful resource of copyright free animal imagery. I own several books of copy right free material and although there is a small bit of overlap between the books, the amount of material in this book that is not in other resource material easily makes up for it. This book does not come with high res scans on a cd like other dover o
