ARTISTS RAVE ABOUT THE BOOK

I can see that artists who read your book will be poised to take over the world. . . . It is a GREAT book!!! You have done an excellent job!—Mary Ann Archibald

All but about 14 pages of my book copy have been dog-eared as a place marked to revisit. The margins are filled with checkmarks and stars, and there is repeated underlining and highlighting throughout. I have told many other artists about the book they cannot and should not be without.—Myra Knapp

To say your book has been of value to me would be a major understatement. It is a remarkable book in so many ways. I've never seen so much valuable information in one place, and presented in such an accessible and organized way. And I must say that the design of the book, including the marvelous cover, is top-notch. I love your use of the exclamation point for obvious reasons. :-)—Burnell Yow!
