I was fascinated by photos I'd see of the skull and bought this book because it was supposed to describe the creation of the incredible work of art.

This book spends a majority of it's time on the age, shape, condition, teeth, and place of origin... OF THE REAL SKULL... not the jeweled creation. The discussion of diamonds is basically some drawn diagrams that explores the atom structure of diamonds. Who cares about atom structure?

There are a few great photos of the final creation, but nothing about the actual work that took place to create a platinum skull, setting the diamonds, etc.

Sorry to say this, but I recommend that you pass on this book.

Este libro, por los contenidos del proceso de creación de la obra del autor británico, se transforma en un documento imprescindible como testigo contemporáneo del quehacer investigativo plástico que se debe tener. Recomendable sin lugar a dudas. Gracias. Ricardo
