1.0 out of 5 stars Hillman series are a joke!, June 3, 2005
By Michael Wasson "bird carver" (Newark, DE United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I could post this about any Hillman book.

These are not instructional carving books. They are patterns ...and not even good ones. The patterns are side view and lifeless. The top and front views cannot even be used to cut out the blank!...they are 'information only'.

If you are a novice bird carver and wish to purchase instructional books get Lori Corbett or Ernest Muehlmatt's

3.0 out of 5 stars Fine for folk style birds, January 23, 2009
By Chris Flannery (Havertown, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In response to the criticism of this book I felt obliged to say that this book and Hillman books are fine books for a folk style of bird carving (or decoy making). These are not to be compared to fine detailed pattern and instructional books. Hillman's are based on simple carving techniques and no woodburning, ie. "smoothies". This is not a bad place for beginner carvers to start, it will help you get started and have a few patterns to try out. Generally, there are no painting instruction in these pattern books. You may want to try your own or pickup a painting book as well.
