Good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972. Used books may not include companion materials, some shelf wear, may contain highlighting/notes, and may not include cd-rom or access codes. Customer service is our top priority!
This book has a lot of useful information pertaining to techniques as well as the mediums. It covers colors and hues too which is helpful when working with the medium. It's very organized and uses terminology that makes sense to just about anyone!
