Mr. Wolfson has merely taken the content from another well-known and respected forensic art book, dumbed it down, and created a cheap imitation. Save your money for professional publications.

After reading the reviews I formatted and updated the newer versions, though it was always intended for a students or professionals who want to learn more of the sculpting aspects that are not in the other books. I hope it helps and thanks for the input.

The author seems to be a pretty decent sculptor, but the book could definitely benefit from a spell-check! The typos are innumerable, and the writing not especially coherent. There doesn't appear to be much that is new here, and it seems to me that a published demonstration of forensic sculpture should feature more than a budget plastic skull, which may or may not even be cast from an actual human specimen. Stick with Karen Taylor or Caroline Wilkinson for very thorough descriptions of the American and Manchester methods of facial reconstruction (respectively) from renowned professionals. You won't be disappointed.
