This book is for people who are curious about how it is to draw someone nude and for those who wonder how it would be to pose nude. It is also for students like the one who shyly turned to me during a photography class and confessed that he felt awkward working with the model; he was afraid of disturbing her. And; what follows is my response to those who upon learning that I am a figurative artist have told me how lucky I am to have an excuse to see ldquo;a lot of broads with no clothes on.rdquo;

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. she really enjoyed it. its a really cool look at knitting ...By miranda beardi bought this as a gift for the woman who taught me to knit. she really enjoyed it. its a really cool look at knitting throughout history with pictures you really dont think of when you hear "knitting" --- the only thing we didnt really love is that all the discriptions are referenced in the back. i get the point to not take away from the aesthetic of the photo. but its a bit of a pain to have to flip through to the back to read about any of the photos. -- also; even though the size is listed. i failed to really pay much attention to that it the book is smaller than what i imagined. which is fine; just so if anyone is thinking the way i was; let it be know that it is not a very large book :)5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. and I enjoyed looking at it that wayBy SHSThis is; as has been said; a charming book. It shows knitting in social contexts over time; and I enjoyed looking at it that way. It is; however; a small book - less than 5.5" by 8"; so the images are not large. Some are full page; others are snap shots that are a fair bit smaller than a full page. The photos are not; in general; particularly clear. If your interest is in details about the actual knitting; you may be disappointed; but its a nice collection.8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Good and badBy LainieThree stars only because most of the photos are charming and shows a recent history of knitting. Two stars deducted because; while the book is 490 pages; the photos end at page 216. The rest and majority of the book is the index; captions that could easily have been added to each page where the photos are located. So as others have said the book is quite small in content (I purchased the kindle edition). Personally I would prefer seeing the captions with the photos. I enjoyed the book of photos but; to me; it wasnt worth the purchase price.
