Animals: 1,419 Copyright-Free Illustrations of Mammals, Birds, Fish, Insects, etc. January 19, 2008
This book has the most awesome animal drawings I have ever seen. The fact that they are wood engravings is more than remarkable!
awesome book January 18, 2008
A present for my daughter-in-law and the illustrations were incredible. She is an artist and will make good use of this book.
 Enjoyed the broad range of life illustrated for this volume October 12, 2007
Wow - the enormous numbers of animal life is astounding and the book clearly shows this. Unfortunately the images are quite dark and the book is very thick (you get your money's worth - image-wise), so scanning them for use in various artistic media is difficult. Therefore, I bought two of the books and plan to cut one of them up (that hurts to say for I treasure books of all types). This way I can control the scanning and modification using software to bring out details and highlight an image to my satisfaction. And finally, the classic images are impressive and I applaud the author for his selection of animals from all realms of life on earth.
Well worth it. September 16, 2007
Used several of these drawings in projects. Books like this are great for those of us designers who aren't the best freehand drawers.
Very Nice May 12, 2007
