Perspective in a nutshell, not an overly playful tone in the writing but the book is full of diagrams which make it easier to process the information. It even covers shadow, reflection and value 'the other guy' makes you pay for his second book for that. If you're taking perspective\viscom in school or you're lucky enough to have Bob Pastrana as a teacher, I recommend this book.

Very simple and easy to understand, definitely helped with learning some basics that other instructors might assme the users are already aware of and skip. Definitely a great place to start if you are interested in learning this sort of thing.

Great step by step layout. Easy to understand, and very helpful methods for making perspective work for you and not the other way around. Best perspective book I've read so far.
