Anime Mania: How to Draw Characters for Japanese Animation (Manga Mania) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really love Chris Hart's art books and 'how to' art books in general, but this book is sub par for Chris.
My biggest disappointment was the serious lack of 'how to' drawing illustrations actually included in this book. This book is comprised of mostly completed illustrations, and lacks the sort of detail Manga is famous for.
The sections on 'head shots' is simplistic, the line quality heavy, and the color unspectacular. To make matters worse, over 3/4 of the book is filled with finished drawings. If you are the sort of artist who learns by looking at finished illustrations, this book is for you. However, if you were looking for a 'step-by-step' approach, this book would be a poor choice.
I recommend reviewing this book before purchasing.

Smoking Food for Pleasure or Profit: How to smoke fish, oysters, mussels, cheese, ham, bacon, sausage and salmon, complete with recipes and diagrams Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would give this book negative stars if possible. This was written overseas and apparently the author just discovered liquid smoke. Every recipe in the book uses liquid smoke. I'm sorry but brushing cheese with liquid smoke and letting it set in the refrigerator in NOT smoked cheese. Big waste of time and money.
