This is a compact book, both in format and extent, but it is genuinely surprising how much Liz manages to pack in. Liz's style is pleasantly loose, but by no means lacking in detail, and her explanations, concise as they are, are complete and easy to follow. Examples, exercises, hints and tips complement a good variety of species and details including textures and features.
