Can a "how-to" guide captivate even those who don't want to know
how to? By all means, yes, if [this book] is any indication....
It's an indispensable guide for those who make art out of the
contrast between light and dark. And, it's a sheer pleasure for
everyone else, thanks to its many wonderful illustrations.--
