Not as good as many others.,

This review is from: Carving Figure Caricatures in the Ozark Style (Dover Woodworking) (Paperback)
Not a very "enticingly" written book. All of the photos and illustrations are in B/W. Few of the Photos show the hand or the knife, they are merely of Carvings sitting on a table surface. Definitely not going to inspire you to take up the hobby. I found Carving Caricature Heads & Faces by W. "Pete" LeClair and Tom Wolfe Carves Wood Spirits to be far superior in info transfer, and giving you a feel for the craft.
Color photos aren't what make a book however, check out How to Carve a Woodspirit in a Hiking Stick by Skylar Johnson for a short concise and spot on B/W book.

Good book if you can already carve,

This review is from: Carving Figure Caricatures in the Ozark Style (Dover Woodworking) (Paperback)
Book is good and has patterns etc. Problem is, if you arent already a proficient carver, this book will not really walk you through each step of the way. If you already can carve well, this is perfect for some cool patterns and photos to model your carving on.
