5.0 out of 5 stars Figurative sculpture anatomical measurements, July 24, 2006
By massimomichele (Wrotham. Nr London. UK) - See all my reviews
No figurative sculptor can afford to be without this invaluable resource. Even more so if you teach. It gives precise measurements, imperial and metric, for scores of parameters for male and female figures in different sizes; Life size, one third, one quarter etc.

If you identify with the title of my review you should have this book.

By Ignacio Pulido (Manchaca,Tx. USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Every measurement I was looking for and a lot's more. The book also has info on three dimensional forms,symmetry,arches,crystal forms etc. Measurements of the hands and feet,between the fingers. To much to mention. It helps me a lot when I carve human figures in stone.
