I purchased this book because I wanted a source of authentic Indian designs I could use for gourd pyrography, some of which I hope to sell. The book only contains 48 designs, one per page. For my purposes, that many are not a lot to choose from. After reading this statement in the preface, "...intended for personal enjoyment,---and not for commercial purposes." I'm not sure I could sell any gourds with these designs without violating the copyright.

Very simple and clear black and white drawings of Native American designs (animals). Each design has the tribe's name below it, a brief description and some have interesting information about the significance of that particular animal. I have used this book over and over again with my art students aged 5 - 12 and the artwork produced was exceptional. They are all animal motifs and an art educator could easily use it for a project about fantasy animals.

Great book for using different Native American Indian designs. A little large, but they are nice detail.
